Restore Backup: This action opens the Restore Backup window entitled, where a Backup
directory is selected for reloading.
To restore a Backup directory:
•
Select Restore Backup from the File menu;
• Highlight the desired Backup directory;
• Click the OK button or press
Enter
on the keyboard;
A pop-up dialog box will appear giving you the option of Replacing the
Existing Title, Saving the Restored Title as a new Title, or Canceling the
Backup. If you select “Replace the Existing Title”, you will not be able to
replace the Session Configuration if it is currently loaded and will be given
the option to continue. You will also have the opportunity to replace the
Monitor file if it also exists. Choosing “Restoring the Title As” will result
in the normal Window’s save screen.
Notes: Regardless of the method used to create it, after a Backup has been re-
stored, the resulting Title must be opened before use.
If you move production data between different consoles, it is advisable not
to restore certain files onto the destination console, since it may have dif-
ferent hardware. This is valid in particular for the
monitoring.ini
files.
You will be asked whether you want to restore these files as well; in this
case answer negative if the two consoles are not identical in terms of
monitoring.

Using the Import utility in the File menu, Snapshots, Presets, Mixes, and
Titles can be imported.
Import: This action is used to select the type of data you wish to Import. Once the
type of data is selected, an open window appears allowing to select the
data source. The following rules apply when using the Import utility:
• Snapshots and Mixes can only be imported into an open Title;
• Imported Presets will be stored with the current Session Configura-
tion;

• A Title will need conversion if it is imported for use with a different
Session Configuration.
Note: Importing a Snapshot, Preset, Mix, and/or Title will not make it current.

ported, it must be recalled using the Snapshot page.
