Chapter 19 Using a DAT Recorder (DAT Backup)

DAT Backup Verification

This operation checks the condition of song data that was
recorded to a DAT tape. It does not perform a comparison of
the song data on the hard drive and the song data on the
tape. If the DAT verify operation results in a warning that
data is not recorded properly, it is possible the tape has been
scratched or stretched. If the original song data still exists on
the drive, perform the DAT backup procedure once again
using a different DAT tape.
* After performing DAT backups, in order to confirm the data
has indeed been properly backed up, we strongly recommend
you carry out the Verify procedure.
1. Connect the VS-1824 and the DAT recorder as shown
below.
