The archive flag (*) is either a (space) or a (#) to show if only un-
archived files have been burned; a way to know why some files,
probably burned on another media, are missing.
Tag type1: general mode for DVD burning (CD_T1-6_001). T1-6:
six mono tracks from the AAD folder, T1-8: eight mono tracks
from the AAD folder. MXDN: monophonic stereo mixdown from
the AAD folder. MXBN: poly stereo mixdown from AAX folder.
MXBC: poly stereo mixdown with 24-bit to 16-bit reduction. 001
to 999: the media rank.
Tag type2: CD_TK-1_001 used if the files must be separated
because their group is too large to be burned on a single 690MB
CD. TK-1 is the track number and 001 the media name rank.
11 Snap Report (*)
None Direct(mono) (poly)Native (poly)Rotate miXdwn
Snap immediately stores the day's Sound-Report into a
YYYYMMDD.AA# folder (#= Dir, Nat, Rot, miX) which car-
ries the same status as the backup files (p.38).
(*) based on the SESSION.03 selection, the report is sent to
the int.HDD, ext.HDD or both HDDs.
12 Idle Report
No Yes
When the BACKUP 'idle copy' is performed, you must trig-
ger the SoundReport transfer to the idle-copied disc since
Cantar has no means to know when you are about to
disconnect the disc!
Idle Report copies the Sound-Report to a YYYYMMDD.AA#
folder (#= Dir, Nat, Rot, miX) which carries the same treat-
ment as the backup files (p.38).
REMINDER: perform 'Idle Report' before [eject]-ing the
DVD-RAM or removing the external HDD.
13 Erase Polys
No Yes
This operation erases all of the previous day's Poly files result-
ing from intermediary treatments stored in the internal HDD.
Obviously if you later have to deliver another backup copy
containing Poly files, the Backup@Call will take longer since
it will have to recreate the erased files. As a precaution, only
the Poly files of preceding workdays can be erased
14 Run Backup
No, nnnnMB Yes, nnnnMB
The default is 'No' with the size of the files to be saved.
This allows you to quickly visit
and immediately leave using the
same [ok] button. 'RunBackup'
systematically inserts the three
forms of the Sound-Report (ready to print PDF, tab delimited
CSV list and ALE list for editing machines) once the backup
is completed (p.38).
Example of a standard backup
Select 'T1-T8 (7/8)' in.03, 'mono-Direct' in .04, 'Poly16Trunc'
in .05, 'Ext.HDD' or 'DVD-RAM' in .06; you get a Poly16-
bit mixdown plus all the native 24-bit monophonic tracks on
an external HDD or DVD-RAM.
The several disk case
Go to BACKUP.10 'Media Label', select the disk you wish
to burn, [ok], BACKUP.14 'Run Backup', [ok], 'Yes', [ok]. Go
back to 'Media Label', choose the next one and so on. You
can interrupt the process between two disks and return to it
later. Don't forget to write Cantar ID, Project name, Date,
and Media label onto the CD/DVD as it comes out, so as
not to waste time looking for the ones you haven't done yet!
Upon completion of writing, the disk will need to be manu-
ally ejected. When the green indicator starts blinking, press
the burner's [eject] button.
Direct backup from a Mac or PC
Once TECHSET.01 has 'Unmount'-ed, the internal HDD
is no longer under Cantar's control but is still powered; a
FireWire connected MAC/PC sees the Cantar HDD as
any other HDD, and can copy the files, perform selective
erasure, and edit the metadata with Majax. Warning: To
prevent destruction of the FireWire input (max: 16.6V) by the
Mac GX (33V), open the disk cover, take out the HDD and
connect it to the GX; its FireWire input handles up to 40V.
(Mac/PC laptops supply a safe 12V).

CORRUPTED FILE RETRIEVAL Cantar saves the disc's FAT every ten seconds. In case of power
interruption, the last file is left open and unplayable; do not continue to use the HDD, do not use
any standard recovery program, this is guaranteed to DESTROY any audio that could have been
otherwise saved. Instead, contact Aaton.
