MS300 Music Backup

It is possible to backup and restore the music contents of the MS300 using the CIFS or
"Windows" Networking feature. Backup is accomplished by mounting the MS300 onto
your PC or Mac desktop and using your computer's backup software.
You can also backup the music files to any standard media which your PC supports, such
as: DVD+/-R/W, CD-R/RW, or external hard drive.
There are several methods and tools for backup your MS300's music content. You will
have to determine which method is best for you and your customers. One such method
involves attaching an external FireWire or USB hard drive to your PC and backing up
your Content directory by using a simple drag and drop from the Content directory to the
external drive or using more elaborate features provided by a third party backup software
product such as Dantz Retrospect. A free trial of this software is provided by Dantz for
both Mac and Windows users. Please visit the Dantz web site for more details:

Only the music files are available in the Content folder. Playlists, Setup information, and
Internet Radio stations are NOT available for backup at this time.
