You can save any number of different shows on the Pearl’s internal hard
disk.
1.5 Backing up a show to USB drive
If you save to the internal hard drive, it’s a good idea to regularly copy
a backup of the show to an external storage device such as a USB pen
drive just in case something bad happens to the console. One way to do
this is to load the show from the hard disk then save it to the
removable disk using the Disk button as described in the previous
section.
You can also use the VDU and mousepad to select options from the
Pearl Expert Titan window on the VDU as described below.
1.5.1 Backup existing show files to USB pen drive
To backup existing show files to USB drive you need to copy the
showfile across
using Windows
functions.
1> On the VDU
screen
toolbar,
click on the
Windows
Folder icon
(top right).
2> Double click
on “Local

folder, then double click the “ShowData” folder.

more than one, hold down the Ctrl button on the keyboard while
clicking them.
7> Right click on a selected file, and select “Send to” from the pop up
menu which appears.
8> Select the removable USB drive where you want to make a
backup of the show file(s). The file will be copied.

1.6 Clearing the console
When you start a new show on the Pearl it is usually a good idea to
clear the console. All programming and patching is deleted, but user
options are not changed.
1> Press the blue Disk button.
