Backup; Backing Up A Project - Roland VS-2000 Owner's Manual

7—Project and Drive Operations

BACKUP

We strongly recommend that you back up your projects regularly. When you back up a
project, you make a copy of it on a CD-R or CD-RW, and store the backup in a safe,
separate place. Though your VS-2000 is an extremely reliable device, unexpected
events—including power outages and worse—can occur during its operation. The only
way to guarantee that your work remains safe is to back it up.
You can re-load a project backup at any time by performing a RECOVER operation—
see Page 111.

Backing Up a Project

1. Insert the desired CD-R or CD-RW into your CD-R/RW drive.
The BACKUP operation re-formats the destination media for backup use. The media,
therefore, doesn't need to be formatted ahead of time.
2. Hold down SHIFT and press F1 (PROJ).
3. Mark the project(s) you want to back up.
4. If "BACKUP" isn't visible above F1, press PAGE until it is.
5. Press F1 (BACKUP)—the PROJECT BACKUP screen appears.

During a multi-CD backup, the VS-2000 asks for each disk twice: once to label the disk,
and once to actually write data on the disk.

If you're using a CD-RW disc that already contains data, the VS-2000 asks if you
want to erase the disk. For details on the messages that may appear, see Page 368.
If a project is too large to fit on the medium you're using, the VS-2000 asks you for
additional media as needed.
