1. Full Backup

The Full Backup function copies all files and folders on a

memory card to the hard drive. It maintains the directory
structure of the source card.

The Full Backup function CANNOT:

=backup memory card labels or system files data (e.g.

Windows OS Recycle Bin)

=backup memory cards with a FAT12 file system

=backup memory cards with capacities of 64MB or less.

III

To backup multiple memory cards of the same type, after one finishes
backing up, insert another and select <Full Backup> on the main menu.

To backup multiple memory cards of different types, insert both cards
and select <Full Backup> on the main menu. The device will ask you
which card you would like to backup first. Select one. After the selected
card finishes backing up, select <Full Backup> again and select the other
card.

Viewing data

After a successful backup, you can press【Ok】 button to browse the
photos you have just backed up.

To view other non-photo data, refer to relevant sections of "File
Manager".

III

2 1

2. Incremental Backup

backing up newly added data on a previously backed up
memory card.

With the function, you can:

=copy the new memory card data to the last successful backup folder

(created by either Full Backup or Incremental Backup).

=copy the new memory card data to any existing folder.

The Incremental Backup function CANNOT:

=backup memory card labels or system files data

Real-Time Verify:

=performs CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) data verification as files

copy

=retries verification upon discovery of an error, reports an error if the

retry fails

=does not affect copying speed

The following hardware supports real-time verification: SATA hard

drives, UDMA CF cards, SD cards, MMC cards and MS cards.

Verify HDD:

=records CRC checksums of each copied file and compares with file

checksums on the hard drive

=prevents data corruption and loss due to bad sectors on the hard drive
=can affect copying speed, depending on the read speed of the hard

drive

Verify Card:

=records CRC checksums of each copied file and compares with file

checksums on the card

=detects data errors on memory cards
=can affect copying speed, depending on the read speed of the card

III

quantity of small files)

UDMA66 Speed:

=uses the hard drive's ultra fast operating speed

=updates copy progress at one second intervals

=averages 30~40MB/sec (may be slower if you backup non-UDMA CF

cards, activate verification or copy preview, or if battery power or ambient
temperature is low.

Creating thumbnails or "thumbs" of JPEG photos will
help to speed up the browsing of such photos on the
COLORSPACE, To batch create thumbnails of photos,
select <Create Thumbs> under "Function" on the main
menu and select a folder containing photo files. You can

3. USB Connection

1. Connect COLORSPACE to a USB port on your computer with the
provided USB cable. Do not connect via a frontal USB port or via a USB
hub.

2. Select <USB> under <Functions> on the main menu.

3. Access COLORSPACE as a local disk.

The function enables you to:

=access data on the COLORSPACE hard drive

Note:

=You should connect the device to the AC adapter when transferring

large amounts of data. This is because during data transfer, the device
will consume more power than the USB port is able to provide (i.e.
500mA) and additional power is drawn from the internal battery. If the
AC adapter is not connected, the battery will eventually be exhausted
and the device will shut down automatically. This is not a malfunction.

=The device does not function as a card reader. Hence you cannot

access the memory card via USB.
