This will not hurt the data on the hard drive, but it will cause the backup tape to appear to be
flawed.
Loading Multiple Tapes
You can load multiple backups with differing material as long as they do not contain conflicting
Index Numbers. In the case of a conflict only the last Cut with that Index number remains. You
can use the Move function before loading the second backup to resolve Index Number conflicts.
Starting in the Middle of a Backup Tape
You can start in the middle of a backup tape and Instant Replay will start restoring from the first
full backup file it receives. This allows you to note the time that an error took place, and then
start a restore operation a bit before the same location on a similar backup tape and get only the
file that produced an error.
See the section on Error messages for information of their meaning and possible corrective steps.
Machine-to-Machine Transfers
Backup and Restore can be used to transfer material directly from one Instant Replay to another.
This is similar to D-NET file transfer (discussed in the next section) with the advantage that it
also transfers Hot-Key assignments. It is somewhat slower than D-NET as it uses 16 bit data
rather than 24 to maintain compatibility with DAT.
To perform a transfer between two units using Backup and Restore:
•
Connect the AES/EBU output of the unit containing the material to the AES/EBU
input of the unit that will be receiving it.
•
Follow the directions above for Restore on the unit that is to receive the material
•
Follow the directions for Backup Drive or Backup Bank as desired on the unit that will
be sending the material.
