Backing Up A Memory Card - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3 Data Storage and Retrieval

Backing up a memory card

A memory card can be backed up using following procedure.
For backing up, a formatted (p. 51) memory card for copying to (the destination card)
must be prepared in addition to the memory card to be copied from (the source
card).
IMPORTANT
The console's auto-mixing memory is used during the memory-card backing-up
process. Therefore, all auto-mixing information which is currently held in the
console's memory is erased during the back-up process. For this reason, be sure to
save the current project before you begin the back-up procedure.

3. Press [F1] (BACKUP).
After a message requesting the source card appears, make sure that the source card
has been inserted, and then press [F5] (OK). The back-up procedure will begin.
4. After a message requesting the destination card appears, remove the source
card, insert the destination card and press [F5] (OK). Data writing starts.
After writing is completed, return to Step 3 and repeat the above
procedure. Backing up is finished when the "Completed" message appears.

Prepare a destination card
of at least the same capacity
as the source card. If the
capacity of the destination
card is smaller than that of
the source, backing up may
be halted before all of the
source card's data can be
copied.
Format (p. 51)
The number of repetitions
of Steps 3 and 4 will differ
depending on the amount
of data to be backed up.
To cancel the process, press
[F6] (CANCEL). Once
backing up has begun, data
previously stored on the
destination card cannot be
restored even if the back-
up process is cancelled.
