5.2 BACKING UP

All the settings of the BRC (the 20 songs, their 20 locate points and
their names, tempo maps, pre-stored names list, pitch mode and
value, punch points, loop points, pre/post-roll times, track delays,
tape offsets, generate sync type, external sync type, digital I/O
configuration, track groups, MIDI/UTIL settings) can be stored onto
the beginning of each tape, known as the "data" section. This is
referred to as the "table of contents" or TOC. If you work on more
than one project at a time, you can recall the TOC for a particular
session back from tape and have the BRC configured precisely as it
should be.
The TOC is saved to all tapes. This is so that if you want to send a tape
out to another studio, they will be able to load your setup
information into their BRC, making it easier for them to work with
you.
IMPORTANT! Each time you save a setup to tape, you are erasing the
previously saved TOC.
Let's say you start working on a new song on a set of tapes that already
has a TOC stored. But this time you forget to load the TOC into the
BRC before you started working. After making several modifications
(new locate points, etc.) you save the setup to tape, right? WRONG! If
you did, you would be erasing the original information. To avoid this
problem, always load the TOC from tape before you start making
changes. This way, when you save the new TOC, it will contain all
