The media files on your SDJ system should be a subset of the master
collection, kind of like a “Greatest Hits” collection of your best music.
That way, it is easier for users to pick great songs.
Backing Up Your Music Collection
Backups are very important. We recommend using external hard drives
with both USB and SATA ports. The Professional Edition comes with two
external (eSATA) ports for high-speed copying and duplication. SATA is
about 6X as fast as USB. SATA speed is 3 Gb/sec compared to 480 Mbps
with USB. Note: External SATA drives must be plugged in and powered
up before starting the SDJ computer to be recognized in Windows.
Keep a master copy of all your media files on one drive. Use an imaging
utility to duplicate your system on the other for backup. Acronis True
Image Western Digital Edition is installed on your SDJ system for this
purpose. With an exact duplicate of your SDJ hard drive for backup, you
can easily recover from a virus or other problem, should it occur. With
an exact copy of your media files for backup, you will never lose any
music. Our technical support staff can help you if you need assistance.
