Backup
Both the MMR-8 and MMP-16 can make a backup copy of any WaveFrame Project, OMF Composition,
or Pro Tools Session, either to the same disk as the original file or to an external disk volume. This
provides a convenient way to make a safety or archive copy of a project, including the EDL (Project,
Composition, or Session) and the audio files. The Backup process will copy the EDL and audio data to
the drive specified. If any of the audio files already exist on the target disk, they will not be copied again.
The backup menu is accessed by pressing the Load Track key to find the file to be backed up, then
pressing Shift + Slip to access the Backup menu:
01234567890123456789 20 position LCD character positions
Begin Backup to: Top: (Menu Item)
* Disk 0 Bottom: (Drive SCSI ID #)
Press the Trim key to select the SCSI ID number of the drive to which the file is to be Backed Up. Press
the STO (YES) key to initiate the Backup process. The menu will ask if you are sure. Press STO (YES)
again to initiate the Backup process, or CLR (CANCEL) to cancel the process and return to the previous
menu.
The MMR/MMP Backup process will back up all Pro Tools data created on the MMR/MMP but will not
copy Pro Tools fade files or preserve Session data such as TDM bus data. If it is necessary to back up Pro
Tools files which have this type of data, it is best to use the Pro Tools system to perform the backup. This
will be changed in a future MMR software release so that such data is retained during the Backup.
Note that Backups must be made to a disk of the same type (WaveFrame to WaveFrame
or Macintosh to Macintosh).
Rename
The MMR-8 and MMP-16 software can rename any Project or Session file that currently exists on a disk
in the WaveFrame, Pro Tools or OMF/SDII formats. Rename of other formats such as Sonic Solutions,
Fairlight, Akai and DEVA formats is not supported because the MMR and MMP do not write these file
types. To rename a file, access the file by pressing LOAD TRACK and scrolling to the name of the
Project to be renamed. While the name of the Project to be renamed is showing in the LCD, press
SHIFT+SLIP (backup) and scroll to the Rename menu item:
01234567890123456789 20 position LCD character positions
Rename project as: Top: (menu name)
*Project Name Bottom:(shows project name)
Use the Up/Down arrow keys or wheel to choose alphanumeric characters and the Left/Right arrow keys
to move to the next or previous character. When the new name has been entered, press STO to complete
the process and write the new file name to the disk.
When Rename is used, the old file name will be overwritten and will no longer exist. To save a copy of a
Project under a new name while still retaining the original file with the original name, use the Export
menu to Export the file to the same disk, using the Export As function described elsewhere in this
document to create a copy of the file with a different name. The original file will still exist under the
original name.
