TYPE1
This is the usual backup format, in which part or all of the songs are backed up
using the full capacity of the removable media. This format has the advantage that
even if the size of the song(s) being backed up exceeds the capacity of one vol-
ume of media, the backup can be performed using multiple volumes of media.

If this format is selected, the media will be formatted/erased automatically before
backup is performed.

TYPE2
This backup format stores the specified song(s) or all songs as individual files on
removable media. This format has the advantage that new files can be stored on a
volume of media that already contains data backed up in the same format. How-
ever, it is not possible to backup data that extends across multiple volumes.

Before you can use this format to backup on newly purchased media, you must
first manually format the media.

Backing up a song

• If “TYPE1” is selected as the backup format, the media will automatically be

formatted before the backup is performed.

• If “TYPE2” is selected as the backup format, the media will not be formatted

automatically. If necessary, you must format the media manually.

• If you are backing up on removable media such as CD-RW or MO, insert the

CD-RW media or MO media into the drive before you begin this procedure.
