How to back up and restore data in SonicStage?

Back up and restore data in SonicStage.

SonicStage Backup Tools can be used to back up the data in SonicStage. Please refer to the steps below:

A. How to back up data

Note:
- Data cannot be backed up while SonicStage is running.
Please ensure the following before backing up the data:
- Close all other programs.
- Check-in songs through an external device or media.

- SonicStage Backup Tool is capable of backing up and restoring a WMT-ready audio file. However, SonicStage Backup Tool cannot back up copyright information that is downloaded together with the WMT-ready audio file. In the following cases, the copyright information of the WMT-ready audio file must be downloaded again after the restoration of the backed-up data.
a. When backed-up data is restored after the recovery of the computer.
b. When backed-up data is restored to another computer

- If WMT-ready audio file is imported by converting its format to the OpenMG format, the audio file converted to the OpenMG format can be backed up and restored. In this case, the copyright information of the original WMT-ready audio file is not backed up either.
- If a song is larger in size than the free capacity of the medium, back up is not possible. In this case, use a medium that is larger or secure necessary space in the hard disk drive before back up.
- During the back up process, do not allow the system to suspend or hibernate. The data may be lost, or backup and restoration may not be normally executed.
- When SonicStage Backup Tool is running, the suspend function (standby and hibernation) and a screen saver controlled by the timer of the computer do not work.
