The backup function will make sure there’s enough room on 3P LAY for the session you wish to
restore (a modest safety allowance for extra space is added to calculation by design). Next,
assuming no session with the same name as the selected backup already exists on 3P
LAY , the
restoration is performed.
Hint: If the name of the selected backup is already in use, you will have an opportunity to rename it
and continue, or Cancel the operation.
A progress gauge is displayed during the restore operation. The time required to restore a session
varies with its size (HD or SD, and Duration) and the speed of the connection to the external
volume. In due course, the restored session’s name will appear in the list pane.
6.3.3 SYSTEM PREFERENCES
The System Preferences pane provides a couple of opportunities to customize 3Play to your own
liking.

The One-Button Mark Preroll drop-down menu pertains to the duration of events marked using
the one-button method described in Section 5.5.1. The default is 4 seconds, but you can choose a
different value according to you need here.
Normally, 3Play’s Desktop Dashboard (see Section 6.4.9) is only presented if the 3P-10 control
surface is not connected. The Show Dashboard switch in System Preferences permits you to force
it to appear at all times, instead. You may find the extra feedback this provides useful.
