Copying a Project
The importance of backing up your files cannot be emphasized enough. Do it often. Hopefully, you’ll never need to use a backup copy of your project, but you’ll thank yourself a hundred times over if you ever need it.

1. | Press Project. Press the |
|
| PROJECT FILES MENU > | |
| Page Right button, and |

| |
| select Copy. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| < PROJECT FILES MENU | ||
|
|
|

button when finished, and then select OK. Project copy busy... appears in the display during the copy operation, which may take several minutes, depending on the size of the project. Project copy done appears in the display to confirm that the project was successfully copied.
It is extremely important that you make backup copies of your projects at the end of each session. While digital recording technology is highly reliable and hard disk media is durable, sometimes stuff just happens. To reduce your risk of catastrophic data loss (and the possible loss of $$ and clients), back up your projects on two media before deleting them from your working drive(s).
There…. now you know better. So, don’t wait until disaster strikes to get backup
religion, and don’t complain to Mackie when your pet Rottweiler discovers that the only copy of your client’s $20,000 project makes a superb chew toy and buries the drive in the garden.
