Here instead are some media considerations about backing up and retrieving audio. Here instead are some media considerations about backing up and retrieving audio.
• You cannot discretely save a single audio files or group of files. If you want to pick out a few
files for some specific purpose, then use the FTP services and pluck up the files from the
network.

• All of the audio used in a Project is included within the Project folders, even when you
import an audio file from another Project, in which case a new “imported” copy is made.
This means that copying the Project Folder truly means that your audio is backed up.

• When a Project is copied, the Project folder and all its contents are copied to the target
medium completely unaltered – no data compression or compacting.

• You can never have two copies of the same project on the same disk. The Project Copy
operation requires a different source and destination disk. After all, it's a back-up!

• Consider in advance which Projects should be combined onto media together, taking into
account their expected size and the media you are using. The HDR is remarkably flexible
and friendly about making copies of projects to different disks, but the process of shuffling
then deleting Projects to “make room” is an opportunity for inadvertently trashing the wrong
thing.

• If you move other project-related files, such as session notes or mixer automation data into
the HDR24/96 Project folder via FTP transfer through a network, those will be copied along
with the normal contents of the Project folder when you back up to another disk drive.

A DOUBLY IMPORTANT Reminder: It is extremely important that you make back up copies of
your Projects at the end of each session. While digital recording technology is extremely reliable and
hard disk media is durable, the unexpected occasionally happens. Further – if you back up your
Projects onto two separate media before deleting them from your working drive(s) you will
dramatically reduce your risk of catastrophic data loss. It is extremely important that you make back
