Format
The Format function lets you initialize a device. Pa900 uses a
PC-compliant device format (DOS FAT16 and FAT32):
Warning: When formatting a device, all data it contains is lost for-
ever!
Volume Label
Use this parameter to assign a name to an external device to be
formatted.
Note: You cannot rename the label (name) of the internal volume.
When formatting the internal disk, the label cannot be edited.
Touch the
(Text Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
Enter the name, then touch OK to confirm and close the Text
Edit window.
Note: When changing the name to a device containing Standard
MIDI Files or MP3 files used in the SongBook, the links are bro-
ken. We suggest to give the device the same name it had before for-
matting. In case you changed the name, please use SongBook
Editor (freely available on www.korg.com) to edit the links.
Warning: It is not possibile to change the label (name) of the inter-
nal disk when Pa900 is connected to a PC through the USB port. If
you try to do it, the original name is restored by Pa900.

Note: When formatting the hard disk or an external USB
device, an additional warning appears, to avoid accidental
data loss.

Utility

This page includes a set of backup and restore utilities. The
Backup command should be used for archiving purpose only,
since you will not be able to load individual data from a backup
file. To save data that must remain accessible with the normal
Media > Load operations, for example to load User data after
updating the Musical Resources, use the Media > Save opera-
tions instead.
Full Resource Backup
This command allows you to make a full backup of all the inter-
nal data on a target device. A ".BKP" file will be created.
Hint: This command cannot be used to save single items (like a
single Style, a bank of Performances...). To do that, use the Save
operations instead.
In case you are making the backup on an external USB
1.
device, connect the device to one of the USB Host ports.
Be sure there is enough free space in your target device, or
the Backup procedure will not be completed.
Select the "Full Resource Backup" command, then touch
2.
the Execute button in the display. The target device
appears.
If needed, select a different device, by using the Device
3.
pop-up menu.
If you wish to save data inside another folder, select this lat-
4.
ter and touch the Open button to open it. Touch the Close
button to go back to the parent folder.
Select the folder where to save data, and touch Backup to
5.
save it. If nothing is selected, data will be saved to the cur-
rent directory.
