Event Master Devices - Restoring the system

7.6 Restoring the system

Warning: Backups from E2 work on E2 and E2 Gen2. Backups from E2 Gen2 are not backward compatible with E2.

Note: This step in the Event Master series processor setup procedure is optional. If no backup file is available, or if you decide to configure your unit from scratch, please move to the next step to continue the procedure.

General

In this procedure, you will restore your system configuration from a USB drive — provided that you previously backed up your system to a USB drive.

Prerequisite

Ensure that you are familiar with the USB device (Backup/Restore) Menu. For details on this menu, please refer to chapter “System menu > USB device (Backup/Restore)”.

Restore a system configuration file

Use the following steps to restore your system from the USB Drive:

Insert a FAT32-formatted flash drive in the unit’s front-panel USB port.
From the System menu, scroll to the USB Backup/Restore submenu. Select Restore Config.
The USB Restore Config submenu appears.
Press SEL and scroll through the list of configuration files. When you locate the file you want, press SEL again.
A message confirms the restore operation and instructs you to reboot the Event Master series processor.

Note: You must reboot the system to use the restored configuration file.

Note: At the conclusion of this procedure, your system is completely set up — exactly the way that you left it when you performed a complete system “backup.” No further setup operations are required.
