Saving a Backup of the IC Recorder
(“Back Up”)
You can save all the messages in the IC recorder to the computer as one
backup file. The backup file is stored in a special format called an “ICB
file”.
What is an ICB file?
• An ICB file is Sony’s original file format. All of the data in the IC recorder
is compressed and can be stored as one ICB file.
• It is not possible to check the contents of or play back an ICB file, unless
you restore it to the IC recorder (page 45). When the ICB file is restored
to the IC recorder, the information accompanying the messages (file
name, message number, date and time of recording and alarm setting) is
also restored.
• The size of one ICB file is fixed (approx. 16.5 MB) regardless of the length
of recorded messages.
Saving a backup (ICB) file to the computer
Note
There must be at least 16.5 MB of space on your computer’s hard disk, etc. to
save a backup file.
If you wish to make another backup file of the current messages in the IC
recorder when restoring the backup file to the IC recorder, you need an extra
space of at least 16.5 MB in addition.
