4.8.2 Disk Backup
When there is additional disk drive available (or a second D424 recorder),
the contents of the current sequence with audio and editing data may be
copied onto a separate backup disk.
For setting up the system, the following steps are required:
• Switch off both units and install the SCSI cable between both units. The
termination of the destination drive must be on. In case of the D424, ter-
mination is provided automatically.
• Switch on the destination drive. In case of the D424, switch it to SCSI
offline mode in menu item 52.
• Switch on the D424. It will automatically recognize the connected SCSI
destination.
After having started your system, the following steps are necessary for
transferring the current sequence onto the destination disk:
• Be sure to be in the sequence you would like to copy.
• Select the “ work copy” mode with [SETUP] [6] [1] .
• The target drive is listed in the menu page. If it is not yet correct, select the
“ target” item, select the desired target drive and confirm with
[ENT] .
• Start the transfer by selecting the “ start” item.
During the transfer, the display indicates “ processing” . When the transfer
is completed, the display reverts to the standard mode again.
Note: The information on the destination drive is not overwritten. The new se-
quence is simply added to the contents of the disk. A warning will appear
if there is not enough space on the destination drive.
