Saving and loading data using a SCSI drive as the current drive

If the current drive is a SCSI drive (removable disk or fixed disk), you can save and load data to and from a backup SCSI drive, DAT, or adat. If the backup drive is a SCSI drive, save and load operations are not limited by the type of recording mode used for the current drive. If you are using a DAT or adat as a backup drive and using a fixed disk as the current drive, the fixed current drive should be formatted in “Master 8ch mode” to enable saving and loading. However, only in the case of save/load by DAT, the “Master 4ch mode” disk can also be used.

Saving/loading data using another SCSI drive

This section explains how to save and load data to and from a removable current SCSI drive and a backup SCSI drive. Turn off the power to all connected devices before you make connections.

Note: Unlike the save/load operation using a DAT or adat, you cannot abort the save/load operation that uses a SCSI drive. Nor can you monitor audio data during the operation. Also, you cannot load data to a disk formatted in a recording mode that differs from that on the backup disk. For example, you cannot load data from a backup disk in ADAC 8ch mode to a disk in Master 8ch mode.

Backup drive

(ID number = “6”)

SCSI drive connection and preparation

*Connect your backup SCSI drive to the SCSI connector on the current SCSI drive. Be sure to attach a terminator on the second SCSI drive to terminate the SCSI chain.

*Be sure to set the ID number for the backup SCSI drive to “6.”

*Prepare the disk recorded as the current drive and a backup disk (unformatted disk).

<Title of data to be saved to a backup SCSI disk>

Data recorded in the current drive has a name, such as Program 1 or Program 2. (These titles appear abbreviated, such as [P01], [P02]).

On the other hand, a backup disk manages data using dif- ferent titles, such as Backup 1 or Backup 2. (These appear abbreviated, such as [B01] or [B02] on the display.)

For example, Program 1 (P01) on the current drive disk is saved as Backup 1 (B01) for the backup disk.
