BACKING UP AND FILE MANAGEMENT
Backup music from the MS-1 using either an external USB hard drive or the FTP server.
Delete music from the MS-1 with either the FTP server or web interface.
USB HARD DRIVE SYNC
The MS-1 automatically syncs music with an external USB drive providing two
functions: to import new music to the MS-1 and to backup music from the MS-1.
The MS-1 compares the files on a connected external drive to those on the MS-1 and
copies any new and updated files onto the MS-1. Additionally, if the external drive has
more than 300 GB in size, new and updated files from the MS-1 to the external USB
drive.
Because the speeds of USB drives vary, it is recommend that the USB remain connected
for an extended period of time to ensure that the backup process completes, ideally
overnight. Before removing the USB drive, power down the MS-1.
For backups, we recommend that you purchase an NTFS-formatted drive free of any
built-in backup software designed for a specific operating system. Drives with automatic
backup software programs similar to Western Digital's WD SmartWare are not
supported. The drive capacity needs to be equal to or greater than the MS-1 internal
storage capacity. Two recommended USB drives are the Iomega Prestige 1.0 TB USB 2.0
and the Western Digital WD Elements 1.0 TB USB 2.
