96 Hog 4 Operations Manual
During the back-up (archive) process the console checks for errors in the show file archive. If
errors are found the backup will fail and a dialogue with further instructions on how to remedy
the issue will appear. Follow the instructions and try performing another backup. If failures
continue please contact support for further assistance.
Tip: You should backup your show files to external media regularly so that if something
catastrophic happens to you console or internal hard drive you can still access the
backups.
The Hog 4, Hog 4-18, and Full Boar 4 consoles also feature a quick backup button on the
bottom right hand side of the right screen's main toolbar. Clicking on the "backup" button will
quickly generate a backup of your show file in the shows directory using your show file's
name. If other backups with the same name exist in the shows directory the console will
automatically append the new backup file with a number.
4.9 Optimizing Show Files
When working with show files originally created with older versions of the Hog 4 OS or Hog 3
OS it is sometimes beneficial to optimize the show file's data to take advantage of the latest
methods used by the Hog 4 OS to compress and store show data. Running the compress
show utility can sometimes help to significantly reduce the size of a show file, improve log
on/off times, speed up show backups, and/or improve network reliability.

in the Hog 4 OS.
