Backing Up

To ensure that your projects do not become damaged
or lost, it is important to back up your working ses-
sion drives on a regular basis (say, at least every 20
hours—or whenever you have done a significant
amount of work that would be impossible to recre-
ate). This guarantees that if something does happen
to your project files, you will have a backup copy
that contains a good portion of your work.
See the previous section for a fuller explanation of
the backup file format, etc.

Backup Displays

Backup controls are available from both VGA and
LCD screens. Use these screens to facilitate a backup
of your working drives.

NOTE
The SX-1 will create a backup file in the Timeline BU for-
mat from these screens. This format condenses all of the
individual elements of a project into one file that can
be imported by any TASCAM/Timeline machine (MX-
2424, MMR-8, MMP-16). The type of target (or destina-
tion) backup volume does not influence the type of file
made from a screen.
Backup
If you wish to take your work to a non-TASCAM device
(a DAW such as Nuendo or Logic Audio that supports
Open TL, for instance), you'll need to Copy your project
onto a valid connected FAT32 or HFS drive. An MX-2424
can always read all of the files that the SX-1 creates.
