Subject: EMU E64 data backup question
Original Message Date: 20-May-02 @ 01:24 PM - EMU E64 data backup question
OK - I just read Pongoids post and got scared (I'm praying for your sampler P!)
I've got an EMU E64 running EOS 4.0 Classic. I normally save all my BANK information (thats EMU Presets and Samples) onto E-Z Flyer 230MB Carts. One BANK per track - plus a backup. I've also got a PC with a SCSI card - so I can send individual *.wavs from SoundForge to the EMU and back again.
What I want to do it backup all the BANK information on all my catridges (~12 of them).
I don't really want to have load up each bank and then transfer the samples individually as I would grow old doing it. I want someway of loading the BANK onto the EMU and then being able to transfer whole BANK via SCSI onto my PC so I can burn the data off to CDR.
Any software that will let me do this?? Or alternative methods for backing up data.
cheers

ps. As my PC, EMU and E-Z Flyer are all on the same SCSI buss I've tried reading direct from E-Z Flyer to PC but I got a scary message saying
"Drive X: Removable drive is unformatted - ready to format now??"
...at which point I very very very carefully clicked the cancel button and gave up....

Big hard drives would be problematic to back up though. What would you write an 18gig file to?

hey woxy! is your cdrw not scsi? cuase if it were you could put it directly to cd if it's less than 650mb.
Also I wonder for bigger sampler disks, in the 4gb area, if you could then burn the image file to a DVDR? If it's scsi you could then load directly from the dvd back to the sampler.

I actually meant using the hard drive as backup. If you just write to it every once in a while and arent accessing all the time it will be plenty reliable.

brett - yep - my CDR is SCSI and the program picked it up too - so i guess i could skip a step and go direct to CDR. as far as DVDs go - i haven't really gone it for all that new fangled DVDVDVD technology just yet.
influx - yep - a big backup SCSI hard drive would be nice.
i'm gonna stick with burning CDRs for the moment - - - - as tempting as it is, i'm trying to stop configuring / optimising my setup and just get on with writing some music!
right i'm off to make some bleeps.
cheers
