Version 1.30 9

/ NEW FEATURES

*** ALL DATA ON THE DESTINATION DRIVE WILL BE ERASED ***

Please be very careful when selecting the destination drive.

AKAI professional M.I. Corp. cannot be held responsible for loss of

data due to accidental misuse of this function.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: This function is just the first phase in the implementation of disk copying/

backup functions on the S5/6000. In V1.30, it simply makes a mirror image SCSI copy of the

source drive to the destination drive. As such, the destination drive has to be at least the same

size as (or larger than) the source drive. If it is not, you will see this prompt:

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: You cannot copy a disk to itself. If you attempt to do so, you will see this

prompt:

As mentioned, the SCSI COPY function simply makes a mirror image copy of one disk to

another to create safety backups of important data. This erases all data on the destination disk

and, of course, requires the destination disk to be the same size as (or larger than) the destination

disk.

We realise that ideally you want to just copy parts of one disk to a backup disk (for example,

selected folders) and maybe parts of another disk to the same backup disk but this is not

possible in this version. Subsequent releases will improve the backup capabilities and this

‘1st-phase’ release which, whilst admittedly not ideal, is considered better than no backup at

all or the alternative of loading data into memory from one disk and saving it to a backup disk

(which, of course, is still possible).
