Select: 05:Back Up Disk (JUMP #819)

Floppy disks are generally quite reliable, but it is
always a good idea to make backup copies of impor-
tant data.
Important: When this 5. Backup disk operation is
used, all data in the SY99 sequencer memory
will be lost.
1. Insert the source disk (the original data) into the
disk drive and press F8 (Go). The display will
show "Now Loading" and the data will be
loaded into the SY99's memory. The "xx%
Loaded" display indicates the percentage of the
backup data that has been loaded.
2. When the SY99 has loaded as much data as
possible, the display will ask you to "Please in-
sert DUPLICATE into drive."
3. Make sure that the backup disk is correctly for-
matted for the SY99 and that its write protect
slider is in the write enabled position (covering
the hole). Insert the backup disk into the disk
drive and press F8 (Go).
4. The display will show "Now Saving" and the
data will be saved onto the backup disk. The
"xx% Saved" display indicates the percentage
of the data that has been saved.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until 100% of the source data
has been loaded and saved. When the backup
process is complete the display will show
"Completed !".
