backing up a board

[moojoe]

its driving me insane working with a board that doesnt have some form of digital backup since i dont have the time to write out all of my cues.
does anyone know of any way to back up a leprecon LP-1548?

Throw it away, buy one with a floppy
Does it have any MIDI dump? Older boards had that as a backup.

Does have a MIDI port, i suppose you could get yourself a digital camera and shoot the screen. It's been known to happen around here when settings need to be documented <g>.

Didn't think of that one! But it has got to be a digital camera!

Well, I've never done it myself, I'm not a friend of MIDI. Basically u need something that records MIDI, ie a sequencer or Cakewalk or something. If the console has the MIDI Dump function (check the manual), what it does is encript the show as MIDI messages, either regular ones or SysEx messages. So you record the MIDI messages and then when you need to load the show, you press play on the sequencer/PC or whatever u used to record it.
