Do not worry though: the Melco can be used to format the USB correctly from the main menu. Technically, an incremental backup requires the external HDD to be format in NTFS. The backup is incremental – so the first backup is everything, and subsequent backups record just the changes since the last backup. (The N100 and N10 are a little different in that when connecting a USB drive, the Melco will ask if the drive is to be used for backup and configure the USB port automatically). (The HDD can be formatted on The Melco – SETTINGS - DRIVES - FORMAT USB DRIVE in case of V4.xx FW) Simply plug in a USB drive larger than the music library formatted NTFS. The N1A and N1Z both have a USB socket on the back marked ‘BACKUP’.

When considering creating a backup on a PC or other IT device, it can be tricky to manage.īut, performing a backup on a Melco is really very simple.
The simple solution to losing music from HDD failure is to get into the routine of making a regular backup. SSDs are more reliable, but may well fail, and if they do, although HDD failure sometimes allows us to recover some music, SSD failure is terminal. Please do not trust your HDD: all HDDs will fail at some time.
No, not HDD and SSD, but rather broken hard drives, and those which are about to break! Music in digital form on a HDD is pretty much the same really – it needs to be cared for and possible problems anticipated. You would not store your LPs in a cellar likely to flood, or your CDs alongside a raging log fire.īecause you know that is tempting providence and ‘stuff will happen’!
The HDD in your Melco is comparable to the shelves on which you store your CDs or vinyl. Oh no: I’ve lost all my music! I thought that digital and Hi-Res was supposed to be stress-free, but I can’t find my music anymore? Alan Ainslie, Director at audiophile Digital Music Masters
