ViewNet 1.15 Update
To ensure compatibility between MX-2424 version 1.10 and ViewNet, ViewNet 1.15 software should be

Notes on DVD-Backup
When using DVD-RAM drives, there are two types of Smart Copy operations possible:
¾ Smart Copy to a FAT-32 or HFS initialized DVD-RAM
DVD-RAM disks may be initialized to FAT-32 using the MX-2424 menu 710. Using Software
Architects software on the PC
http://www.softarch.com , a FAT-32 initialized DVD-RAM disk can
be mounted on a PC
. Initializing a DVD-RAM disk to HFS must be done on a Mac using Software
Architects software
http://www.softarch.com
These DVD-RAM disks DO NOT support multi-disk
spanning for backup and restore. The advantage to using this method is that such a disk may be
ounted on a computer in case disk repairs are necessary.

¾ Smart Copy to a DVD-RAM in Backup (BU) format
DVD-RAMs that have never been initialized to FAT-32 or HFS may be used for the MX-2424 BU
format. This is a proprietary backup format used on both DVD-RAM and Travan Tapes and
CANNOT be mounted on a PC or Mac. These DVD-RAMs support multi-disk spanning for backup
and restore.
It is recommended that any Smart Copy of a project to DVD-RAM, which does not require spanning (and
thus under 2.3GB in size), be backed up to a FAT-32 or Mac HFS initialized DVD-RAM. A DVD-RAM
that can be mounted on a personal computer can take advantage of disk utilities in the event that any file
corruption occurs. File corruption can occur if a SCSI bus is improperly s
