Backing Up and Restoring
Backup Operations
With this operation, both music files and settings are backed up. Backed up music files can be restored if the files are
deleted.
Backup operations will vary depending on the file system of the connected USB drive. Differences between backup
modes are below:
File System Mode Files Affected
NTFS Differential backup
Only files with different sizes and times since the
previous backup will be saved. If the file content and
location (path) remain the same since the previous
backup job, these files will not be backed up. If the
file location changes, that file will be backed up
even if the contents have not changed.
FAT32
Full backup All files will be backed up.
exFAT
Notes:
• Use only the compatible USB drives listed on melco-audio.com.
• The data will be kept even if the USB drive already contains the backup data in it and a backup job runs.
• To use differential backup for FAT32- or exFAT-formatted USB drives, format it using the Digital Music Library. All
data will be erased and the file system will change to NTFS after formatting.
• The Digital Music Library can format the connected USB drive into a backup drive, and we recommend using the
Digital Music Library to format the drive instead of a computer. Refer to the “Formatting Drives” section in chapter
4 to format the connected USB drive. Formatting should be done before using the USB drive as the backup drive.
If there are files on the USB drive, formatting will erase all data on it.
• Before backing up imported music files, make sure the date and time is configured correctly from Settings >
Date and Time. Date and time settings will be used to create differential backups, or to maintain version control
between multiple backups.
