Data Backup - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-265GP Owner's Manual

Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your com-
puter by using the included application Musicsoft Downloader (MSD). This provides a convenient
backup if the internal memory is damaged.
Data that can be saved
1. Panel settings and recorded User songs
Panel settings are the same data that can be backed up using the Backup Functions
(page 45). You can save the panel settings and recorded User songs as one file.
2. External songs received via computer.
Procedure
1.
Install the USB MIDI driver and the MSD from the
included Accessory CD-ROM to your computer
(Windows), then connect the computer and the
instrument.
For installation, see the separate Installation Guide.
For connection, see page 46.
2.
Move the data to the computer.
By using the MSD, save the "CLP-xxx.BUP" file from "System Drive" under
"Electronic Musical Instruments" to the computer.
The "CLP-xxx.BUP" file contains the panel settings and recorded User songs.
Also, if you store the external songs in the instrument from the computer, move
the songs from "Flash Memory" under "Electronic Musical Instruments" to the
computer via the MSD.
For instruction on using the MSD, see the Help in the MSD.
To recall the settings and load the songs to the instrument, move the "CLP-
xxx.BUP" file and the External songs under the folders to which you saved the
files.
