Creating a backup CD-RW disc
If you have a CD-RW disc that contains important performance data, it is a good idea
to copy it onto a another CD-RW disc to create a backup before the data is lost or
damaged.

Backing up song data on a CD-RW disc

Before you begin the backup, you must obtain a CD-RW disc that has been formatted
on the CDX-1.

Backing up a CD-RW disc
requires a considerable
amount of time. It can take as
long as twenty minutes.The
number of times that discs must
be exchanged will depend on the
amount of performance data
saved on the CD-RW disc and
on the amount of internal
memory.
When you backup song data,
all data previously on that CD-
RW disc will be erased. Be
careful not to insert a CD-RW
disc that contains data you
wish to keep.
