CMD

BACKUP/RESTORE

SYSTEM•MIDI

Press Command / System•MIDI / scroll using the arrow buttons

The BACKUP/RESTORE command allows you to make a backup copy of all of the information
on a SCSI Storage Device. If the drive later fails and must be reformatted, or if you are switching
to another drive, you can restore the drive from the backup copy.

• Press Command, then System•MIDI, and scroll until “BACKUP/RESTORE” appears in the

display.

• Press Enter•Yes. The ASR-10 will show:

CMD

SYSTEM

STOP

FUNCTION=BACKUP

This allows you to select either the BACKUP or RESTORE function. Use the Up/Down Arrow
buttons or the Data Entry Slider to select the correct function.
• Press Enter•Yes, and the ASR-10 will display:

CMD

SYSTEM

STOP

DEVICE=SCSI 0

This allows you to select the device that you want to backup or restore. You may only select SCSI
0 through 7. Press Enter•Yes. The ASR-10 will display:

CMD

SYSTEM

STOP

STORAGE DEVICE=FLOPPY

This allows you to select the device that you want to use to store the backup data. You may select
SCSI 0 through 7, or the FLOPPY drive. Press Enter•Yes, and the ASR-10 will proceed with
either BACKUP or RESTORE.
