Backing Up Songs To DAT
When a song is backed up, it can be loaded back into the HDR later to continue work
on it.. The backup function allows you to either backup all the data on the hard drive,
or backup the current song audio only. Data backed up with the "backup song"
function, must be loaded back in with the "load song" function. Data backed up with
the "backup all" function, must be loaded with the "load-all" function.
When the hard drive is backed up with the Backup All function the songs, the
locators, and the programs will all be backed up. The backup function will take four
times the length of the entire hard drive's recording time. When the hard drive is
backed up with the Backup Song function, only the data of the current song will be
backed up. Locate and program information will not be backed up. Backing up the
song takes four times the length of the song.
