TASCAM 2488neo

11 − Backup and restoration

This is basically the reverse of the backup process. The archived
song data is copied from the computer onto the 2488neo’s FAT
partition and from there onto a TASCAM partition.

1 With the transport stopped, connect the 2488neo

and a computer using USB (see “Opening the USB
connection” on page 8
1).

2 Drag and drop a song file from the computer’s disk to

the BACKUP folder in the 2488neo FAT partition.

If the song file backup has 2 parts, both parts must
be placed in the BACKUP folder of the FAT parti-
tion for the song to be restored.

3 Close the USB connection, and disconnect the

2488neo from the computer (see “Closing the USB
connection” on page 8
1.)

4 Press the

MENU

key. From the DATA BACKUP

menu, select USB RESTORE.

At the bottom of the screen, the restore source par-
tition (FAT), and the restore destination partition
(TASCAM partition), and the amounts of unused
space on the destination partition are shown.

5 Use the dial to select the backup file from which to

restore the song, and then press

YES/ENTER

.

6 A pop-up message giving the song name appears.

Press

YES/ENTER

to restore the song,

NO/EXIT

to

abort the operation.

The

HD

indicator flashes as the song is copied from

the FAT partition to the TASCAM partition.

7 When the copy is finished, the song is automatically

loaded and becomes your current working song.
You can then use the song management features
to load another song, if you want (“First steps in
recording {song management})” on page 44.
