17. Appendix 4 – tracking backup
With Vista’s new tracking backup feature you can connect a computer, running
the Vista application, or a second console that synchronises it’s show file and
settings with your main console. If the main console fails for any reason, the
backup system will automatically take control.
The backup system automatically copies the show programming from the main
console and you can start or stop them in any order and at any time.
