PAGE 13
Common Backup Error Messages For the following 3 types of errors, it is possible to skip or ignore these errors and continue with rest of the memory card backup process. However, there may be data loss specially at the regions where the errors occurred.
PAGE 14
Backup Folder Name Every time a memory card is backed up, COLORSPACE O will create a new folder in the root directory to store all the contents of the memory card. The default folder name is COLORXXX where XXX are incremental numbers, for example COLOR001, COLOR002, COLOR003 and so on. You can change this backup folder name from "COLOR" to something else.
PAGE 15
Backup Speed COLORSPACE O automatically determines the optimal memory card backup speed by looking at the maximum read/write speed rating stated in the memory card BIOS (basic input/output system). However there are some rare cases where the memory card BIOS overstates this maximum speed rating and backup fails when COLORSPACE O transfers at a speed faster than what the memory card is capable of. This can happen with lesser known memory card brands or cards with defective or poor quality memory chips.
PAGE 16
Copy Verification COLORSPACE O is able to perform data verification during the backup process. Each time a file is copied to the COLORSPACE O, the device compares the data on the hard drive against the data on the memory card to ensure that they are identical. Using copy verification can help to ensure data integrity.
