Backup! your data
Posted: 22:02, 4 January 2016
I have seen this a few times but not for a while..
So you have been busy making music and you probably use the same USB stick to save your work..
and you probably dont think that one day... POOF! it maybe all gone..
So with this in mind i decided to start thinking seriously about keeping it safe..
Heres what i do..
all my work is saved to a single USB stick which is attached to the G via an extension cable which means i dont have to reach to the back of my Fantom G each time to remove it or swap.
At some point my current project or song/s will be complete or amassed to where you need to think about backing up. Since all songs, patches and other setups are usually contained within a single project which is usually the current one..
Best practice..
When you start to feel your current work is complete unplug your USB device and plug in either another USB stick or what i do is plug in my powered hard drive via my extension cable.
Goto Project menu and choose SAVE AS
Save project and once done you can now breath, for now you have a back up with piece of mind
your work is now safe..
After this i usually reconnect my USB stick and reload my current project and then continue working until next time i feel the need to do a back up.
For some this all may go without saying..
but for others it just may not have happened yet, so
"Don’t wait till its too late"
Start NOW! :)
