Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2019 9:11 pm Post subject: Saving Set Lists v 3.1.0 |
|
|
When backing up my direct keyboard Set, I use a Media Save All to HD and USB drive copied to my ext HD. Since the Set Lists are a subset of Songbook, am I correct that they are not saved, and would have to be reconstructed if my pen drive went bad ?

You cannot backup any DIRECT data using "Save-All"
The ONLY way to backup your DIRECT data is to perform a COPY of the the DIRECT SET - you can do this using MEDIA>>Copy
You will then have 2 copies of your DIRECT SET
In your case, in order to perform a safe and full backup of your personal data, you need to perform a MEDIA>>SAVE>Save_ALL plus a MEDIA>>Copy to make a new copy of your DIRECT SET - then all your data should be recoverable from these 2 backups.

On a PA there is a slot for a MicroSD card.
On my own PA I use the MicroSD Card as a backup.
It contains exactly the same folder structure and files as the USB drive does hence there is no problem should the USB drive fail. _________________ Biggles

Yep - I use mine for emergency backups but remember it is not hot-swappable - external USB is far friendlier _________________ PA4X-76, Karma, WaveDrum GE, Fantom 8 EX

Yep, that is why my MicroSD is for backup only.
Not that I hot swap the USB anyway, I am too much of a neurotic data protection nerd to do that, I always power off my PA before attaching or removing my USB.
And as for Backups, my USB is also backed up to two different portable hard drives.
Sad really. _________________ Biggles

I'll translate this comment - "sad" = "sensible"
Every time I play/rehearse etc (EVERY TIME) I save all my data to HDD, internal SSD, and SD
I regularly backup that to my PC.
I name my saved sets something like:-
yyyymmdd_bandname
This means they always sort in date order.
Sometimes I perform this more than once at a rehearsal depending on how much I am changing/creating etc... so I might append a,b,c,d...to the date portion of the name.
Do not trust HDD, SSD, SD, USB as a single means of backup and make sure you have copies external to your keyboard.
But that's just me

This is why I doggedly attempt to make sure I am on the right path. I got in a mess by hot swapping my USB, until one day it quit functioning altogether. Pete spent a good amount of time trying to get me straightened out. The only bright spot was that I was forced to create a good deal of data over again. However, now that it is done, I have improved on everything I had, plus added more.
A tough lesson learned. Thanks to all.
