base changes is a recommended practice, since file corruption is a possi-
bility with any computer hardware. Should the Encore database file set
become damaged, the backup database can be quickly reloaded to rapidly
restore full system configuration capabilities. Because of the distributed
database architecture, even if the comprehensive database file becomes
unusable the Encore system remains operational. Crosspoints will remain
at their current settings, and Source to Destination Takes continue to be
available from all operating hardware control panels or other control points
(Automation, Router Control, Soft Panels, etc.).
