20. Media management features.


Having learned how to create your DAISY title or Music CD, it is important

that you are able to manage your media properly. PLEXTALK enables you

to backup your data, erase discs and CF cards and erase unwanted audio

files. This chapter details how to carry out these processes for DAISY titles

and for Music CDs. It also indicates the limitations that apply.

20.1. Backing up DAISY titles.

This section details how to backup a DAISY title from a CD or a CF card.

20.1.1. General information about backing up DAISY titles.

For backing up DAISY titles, you have a number of possibilities using your

PLEXTALK. The following general points should be noted:

• You can back up from a CD to a CF card, then back up from a CF

card to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. If you are using PLEXTALK to backup
from one CD to another, without connecting to a computer, you

need to use a CF card as an intermediate storage location.

• When you back up from a CD to a CF card, then copy from a CF

card to a CD-R or CD-RW disc, you need a CF card that has a larger

capacity than the DAISY title (the source data). This is because any
editing information adds to the source data. PLEXTALK gives a

verbal warning if there is insufficient space available. The

maximum backup capacity is 700 MB of data in one CD.

• If you record directly to a CF card, you can backup this title to a CD

in either DAISY format or Music CD format. You will be able to

choose between these 2 formats during the backup process. In the

case of a DAISY title on a CF card, that was generated by a previous

backup process, you can only select the DAISY format as the

destination CD format.
