Backing Up Projects; Backing Up Projects To An External Scsi Device - Akai DPS16 Operator's Manual

Chapter 10: Project Management (Project Mode)

Backing up Projects

You can back up Projects on the current disk to external SCSI devices (such as MO, CD-R, CD-RW drives) as
well as a DAT machine connected to the DIGITAL connector. Be sure to back up important Projects in case the
internal hard disk breaks down or the Project is accidentally erased.

Backing up Projects to an external SCSI device

You can back up the current Project to a connected SCSI device, such as a hard disk, MO drive, CD-R, CD-RW
drive. You can store up to 99 Projects in the backup device.
NOTE :
• If you back up Projects to a hard disk, that hard disk becomes a dedicated backup disk. Therefore, you
cannot use it as the current disk unless you reformat or erase the disk. You cannot select a Project that was
backed up as the current Project.
• If you wish to make a copy of a Project that is selectable as the current Project, use the disk copy function
(see page 130).
• Before you start the backup operation using the CD-R/CD-RW drive, make sure that you insert a disc in the
drive.
