the sequence: Make Master, Verify Master, Make Working Copy, and then Wipe and
format the flash card.
1. Place the flash card in the appropriate slot. If a USB drive is to be archived, plug this
into either of the USB slots in the rear panel or the slot in the front panel (M1.3 only).
An extension lead may be required for bulky USB flash drives
2. Place a blank CD-R or DVD +/- R or BD-R
(1)
in the drive. The Master is generated
first. The size of the flash card is shown on the display when it is inserted. A CD will
hold 730Mbytes a standard DVD 4,700 Mbytes and a Blu-ray 25GB. Where the data
size is larger than the disk size, multiple disks will be produced. These disks will be
automatically numbered as Master Disk #1, Master Disk #2 etc. The Master Copy
has a log file which contains the time and date stamp of the backup as shown on the
display on the front of the machine as well as other meta data.
3. Press the Transfer button. The automated transfer and verify process begins.
During the transfer the whole of the card is scanned, not just the file data. The
display shows the % done and an estimate of time to go. (The “Cancel” soft key
allows the transfer to be aborted)
4. When complete, PUMA ejects the verified Master Disk and displays the 8 digit
Checksum. This should be noted down.
(Multiple disk transfer - If the data size is bigger than the disk size, further disks will be
requested. Each disk has its own checksum, which is displayed at the end of each disk
transfer. When all the data has been transferred, no new disks will be requested. Press
{Continue} and the checksum of the whole Master Image will be shown. This should also be
noted down. This final checksum is the same as the checksum produced for the card.)
If the process was not successful, the disk(s) will not be ejected and an error
message will be displayed and the user will be prompted to re-burn that disk.
5.
PUMA then prompts for another blank disk to be inserted for the Working Copy.
If the size of the files on the flash card is bigger than the disk size, further disks will
be requested.
6. If the whole Transfer process completed successfully the user will be prompted to
wipe the Flash card:
Press {Y} to wipe flash card or {N} to proceed without wiping card. After the card is
wiped it is automatically partitioned and re-formatted with a FAT32 file system.
The Transfer process is now complete. A new flash card may be inserted.
