DISK MANAGEMENT

NOTES ABOUT BACKUP/RESTORE
When backing up data to disk, there are a few things you should be aware of. � When ALL PROJECTS, ALL LIBRARIES, and ALL PROJS & LIBS are selected as the BACKUP TYPE, if any projects and/or libraries use audio from other disks, this audio will also be backed up. However, when you come to restore this data, the material from the other disks will be restored to the single �destination� disk selected in the TO DISK field. For example:
ID#0 SFX

ID#1

MUSIC

ID#2

DIALOGUE Tape Drive

BACKUP

ID#0

SFX, MUSIC and DIALOGUE

ID#1

ID#2 Tape Drive

RESTORE

In the above example, SFX, music and dialogue from disk IDs 0, 1 and 2 are backed up to tape but these will be restored to the disk selected (in this example, Disk ID#0) In other words, you should ensure that the destination disk for the restore is large enough to accommodate all the material (the RE32 will inform you if it isn�t). � If the data you are trying to backup to tape is larger than that which the tape can hold (or if there is already quite a bit of data on the tape), the backup will be done across two or more tapes. The RE32 will prompt you if this is the case and will tell you to insert another tape. If the tape is unformatted and unsuitable for use, you will be prompted to format the tape whereupon the backup will continue. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this practice but it may get awkward trying to keep track of your backups and so, in view of this, to avoid this situation, you might prefer to use new, freshly formatted tapes when attempting a backup.
