To Restore Archived Presets, System Files, And Automation Files - Orban OPTIMOD-FM 5500 Operation Manual

3-62
OPERATION

To restore archived presets, system files, and automation files:

To make more than one backup archive, rename the current backup
folder (for example, to "Backup1"). 5500 PC Remote will create a new
backup folder the next time you do a backup, leaving your renamed
backup folder untouched. Later, you will be able to restore from any
folder — the Restore dialog box allows you to choose the folder contain-
ing the files to be restored
If you attempt to back up a preset with the same name as a preset exist-
ing in the Backup folder, but with a different date, 5500 PC Remote will
warn you and will allow you to overwrite the preset in the Backup folder
or to cancel the operation. If you wish to keep the existing archived pre-
set, you can first use a file manager to move the existing user preset in
the Backup folder to another folder and then repeat the backup opera-
tion.
In addition to restoring an archived preset to its original Optimod, you can also
copy archived presets from one Optimod to another. The Optimod whose con-
nection is active will receive the preset.
If the preset, system file, or automation file was encrypted when it was originally
saved, PC Remote will request the password under which it was encrypted.
All User Presets are compatible with all 5500 software versions. If Orban
adds new controls to a software version, the new software will assign a
reasonable default value to any control missing in an old User Preset. If
you archive such a User Preset after restoring it, the newly written ar-
chive file will now include the new controls (with the default values,
unless you edit any of these values before you re-archive the preset).
