Song backup saves not only audio tracks, but also 

backs up editing data and other song data. Song 

restoration is the reverse of this process. In short, 

song files are transferred from the computer to the 

FAT partition of the unit and then used to restore the 

song. 

Before starting a backup, check that the MTR partition 

that has the song that you want to backup is selected.
