Backup Manager

Backup Manager is used to copy setup information, system files andautomation data to and from removable media for safe keeping.

It is also used to restore information from previously created archives,and uses archive folders to store information.

These can be on the local hard disk or removable media (floppy disk, CD,DVD, USB drive or zip disk), or on any other network location.

Floppy disks have a relatively low capacity so are only used for mixsetups, system files and the Encore Emergency Disc.

The screen is split into two: the upper half is the Encore drive; the lowerhalf is the destination where you wish to backup the information to.
