Recovering Backed Up Data ( RECOVER)
Recovering Backed Up Data to SD Cards ( RECOVERY)
Use this procedure to restore JS-8 data previously backed up on a computer to SD cards.
You can restore the JS-8 to its status at the time the data was backed up.
The computer procedures in the following descriptions use Explorer and My Computer with Windows and Finder and other applica-
tions with the Mac OS.
1. Connect the computer to the JS-8's USB port by a USB cable.
2. When the USB SELECT screen appears in the JS-8, select JS-8 SONG LIST EDITOR and press [ENTER].
3. Copy (drag and drop ) the backed up entire “ROLAND” folder on the computer to the “JS-8” icon (or the “Removable disk (*:)”
icon) and drop it there (overwriting it).
• "Removable Disk (*:)" may appear instead of the JS-8 icon.
• During the copy, a message may appear on the computer saying that an identical le exists at the copy destination. If this oc-
curs, click "Overwrite all" to continue with the copy.
• Recovering (copying) backed up data to an SD card results in the loss of the content of the card prior to the recover y, restoring
the card with the data at the time the data was backed up.
• Copy the entire ROLAND folder. Copying only portions within the ROL AND folder may render the data unusable as backup dat a.
4. Disconnect the JS-8 from the computer.
With Windows Vista/XP
Right-click on the "JS-8" icon in My Computer (or the "Removable Disk (*:)" icon) and execute "Eject."
With Mac OS
Drag the "JS-8" icon to the eject icon in the Dock.
