BACKUP AND RESTORE

FIREBALL MUSIC BACKUP

It is possible to backup and restore the music contents of a FireBall using the CIFS or “Windows” Networking feature. Backup is accomplished by mounting the FireBall onto your PC or Mac desktop and using your computer’s backup software.

You can also backup the music files to any standard media which your PC supports, such as: DVD+/-R/W, CD-R/RW, or external hard drive.

There are several methods and tools for backup your FireBall’s music content. You will have to determine which method is best for you and your customers. One such method involves attaching an external FireWire or USB hard drive to your PC and backing up your Content directory by using a simple drag and drop from the Content directory to the external drive or using more elaborate features provided by a third party backup software product such as Dantz Retrospect. A free trial of this software is provided by Dantz for both Mac and Windows users. Please visit the Dantz web site for more details: http://www.dantz.com/en/products/personal.dtml

Only the music files are available in the Content folder. Playlists, Setup information, and Internet Radio stations are NOT available for backup at this time.

A full 300 GB backup could take 2.5 days to complete using a standard 10/100 baseT Ethernet network. It is not recommended that you use your FireBall to play music while a backup is in progress as this will cause the backup to take longer to complete.
