Backing up a Project to an external device
If you do not have a backup of your Projects, you may lose the Projects forever if the JAZ disk or the external
SCSI device malfunctions or if you erase the Projects accidentally. To avoid this disaster, Akai recommends that
you back-up important Projects to an external SCSI device or DAT recorder. Follow the steps below to back-up
your Projects.
■
Back-up to a SCSI device
You may back-up data to a SCSI device, such as a hard disk or MO drive.
➸
NOTE :
In this case, any data that exists on the back-up destination drive will be erased and replaced
with back-up data.

BACKUP
[F2] key in Project mode.

2. Move the cursor to the
Device
field

and select “SCSI”.
You can select
SCSI (SCSI device) or DAT (DAT recorder)” as a back-up device in the Device field.
3. Select a Project to back-up in the
Project
field

.
4. Set the SCSI ID (0–7) of the backup device in the
SCSI ID
field

.
This field

changes depending on the device you selected in field
1
. If you selected
SCSI, the SCSI ID
field appears here, enabling you to set the SCSI ID of the backup device.
5. Select whether you wish to format the backup disk in the select field
4
.
If you select
FORMAT in the Format Operation field, the DPS12 formats the disk, then backs up the data.
If you select
ERASE, the DPS12 backs up data without formatting the disk.
➸
NOTE :
If you select
ERASE for the Format Operation field, the DPS12 erases data on the disk and
backs up the Projects. If you select
FORMAT, the DPS12 formats the disk completely, then backs up the
Projects. Therefore, the latter takes more time.
6. Press the
DO IT
[F5] key. The following window appears to confirm the operation.
7. Press the
DO IT
[F5] key.
The DPS12 executes the backup operation. When the operation is complete, the display returns to the
