Saving data

*You can back up data using the “Save PGM ?” menu in SETUP mode. The following procedure assumes that a recorded disk has been inserted in the current SCSI drive, Program 1 (P01) has been selected, and an unformatted disk will be used as the backup disk.

The FD-8 displays ABS 0 of the Program on the current drive.

Note: The backup data will use the number of the saved Program. (e.g., if you save P01 [#0001 data, the backup data will be named as B01[#0001.) You cannot edit the title of the backup data.

The above procedure assumes that the saved data size is smaller than the available space of the backup disk. You can use only one backup disk. To save data larger than a single backup disk, refer to the next <Memo> for information on saving data using multiple backup disks.
