Subject: EMU E64 data backup question
Original Message Date: 20-May-02 @ 01:24 PM - EMU E64 data backup question
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....

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.

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
