DAT Backup Verification

This operation checks the condition of song data that was recorded to a DAT tape. It does not perform a comparison of the song data on the hard drive and the song data on the tape. If the DAT verify operation results in a warning that data is not recorded properly, it is possible the tape has been scratched or stretched. If the original song data still exists on the drive, perform the DAT backup procedure once again using a different DAT tape.

*After performing DAT backups, in order to confirm the data has indeed been properly backed up, we strongly recommend you carry out the Verify procedure.

1.Connect the VS-1824 and the DAT recorder as shown below.
