Automated Backups
If you are going to add new music or edit the contents of your FireBall frequently, it is
recommended to setup an automated backup system. This type of backup requires the use of
a third party backup software application and a computer that can access your FireBall over
the network. Each night the contents of your FireBall which have been added, deleted, or
edited will be copied to the backup folder on your computer. The backup software manages
which files have changed compared to what is in the backup folder and copies only those files
which have changed, keeping the FireBall’s CONTENT volume in sync with a duplicate
volume.
Escient offers the “FireBall Backup Kit” (FBK-1) to help make FireBall backup easy. The kit is
comprised of an external hard drive that connects to your Mac (or PC along with Retrospect
backup software. The FBK-1 is available from your Escient dealer.
