Saving Data - Fostex VR800 Owner's Manual

Saving data

* You can back up data using the "Save PGM ?" menu in
SETUP mode. The following procedure assumes that a
recorded disk has been inserted in the current SCSI
drive, Program 1 (P01) has been selected, and an
unformatted disk will be used as the backup disk.
<[Save PGM ?] menu>
* Output signal options: [AdAt], [dAT], [SCSi id-6]
* Program options: P01 - P99 (an individual Program)
* Track options: When using an adat or DAT: tracks 1–8,
tracks 1–16, Tracks 1–24;
When using a SCSI disk: All tracks will be
automatically selected.
1. Insert an unformatted disk into the backup drive.
2. Press the SETUP key to enter SETUP mode, then
use the JOG dial to select [Save PGM ?] menu.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
[Device ?] appears and the selected output signal option
flashes. ([SCSi id-6] flashes.)
Flashing
Normally, the initially displayed save device will be the
flashing [SCSi id-6] as shown above.
At this stage, if the JOG dial is rotated, besides the flash-
ing [SCSi id-6], [dAT] or [AdAt] can be selected.
[dAT] or [AdAt] is selected if either DAT or adat are used
for saving.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The VR800 recognizes that a disk in the backup drive is
unformatted, and displays [Unformat ?], then proceeds
to the [Bk Format?] menu (backup disk format) in SETUP
mode, then displays the following.
5. Press and hold down the RECORD button, and
press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The VR800 displays the following and starts formatting
the disk. The unformatted disk area size will count down
as the format operation progresses.

5. Use the JOG dial to select the desired Program and
press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The save operation starts and the following indication
appears.
This example shows that Program 1 data is being saved
as Backup data 1. As the save operation progresses, the

When the save operation is completed, [COMPLETED!]
lights up and the following indication appears.
8. Press the EXIT/NO key to exit SETUP mode.
The VR800 displays ABS 0 of the Program on the current
drive.
Note:
The backup data will use the number of the saved
Program. (e.g., if you save P01 [#0001 data, the backup data
will be named as B01[#0001.) You cannot edit the title of the
backup data.
The above procedure assumes that the saved data size is
smaller than the available space of the backup disk. You can
use only one backup disk. To save data larger than a single
backup disk, refer to the next <Memo> for information on
saving data using multiple backup disks.
