Save Title As... Opens a Windows dialog box allowing to select a new name and to save the
current title’s data under a new name. The process is similar to ‘New Title’
because it creates a new title under a new name. The difference is that it also
copies all the snapshots, mixes, etc., from the current title into the new title.

  • Createanewtitlesubdirectorywiththenewname;
  • Copyalldatafromthecurrenttitleintothissubdirectory;

4.6.1.2 Save
Selection of the Save menu item will save all title oriented information to the
currently opened title.
Since this happens automatically when changing to an other title or when
leaving the application, this button possibly may never be used.
4.6.1.3 Make/Restore Backup
The Vista provides a powerful and easy-to-use data backup utility. This fea ture
enables the creation of a backup subdirectory that contains a copy of all files
from the title folder and all pertinent configuration and system files needed to
recreate the session on this or another Vista. These backup files can be used
for data protection and easy transportation of titles between Vista equipped
facilities.
Backup directories can be made on any storage media of sufficient size. They
can be used to restore all of the files and information needed to recreate the
title at a later date or on a different Vista.
Make Backup This action opens the Create Backup window, where a destination for the
backup directory is selected. backup directories are automatically named by
the utility. After the BCK_D950_BACKUP… portion of the title, names include
the title name and dates of modification and origination.
To create a backup directory for the current title:
  • SelectMakeBackupfromtheFilemenu;
  • Selectthedestinationforthebackupdirectory;
  • ClicktheOKbuttonorpressEnter on the keyboard
These actions will perform the following:
  • Creationofanewbackupdirectoryatthedesiredlocation;
