5> Press Exit to leave Disk mode.
You can save any number of different shows on the Pearl’s internal
hard disk.
1.5 Backing up a show to USB drive
If you save to the internal hard drive, it’s a good idea to regularly
copy a backup of the show to an external storage device such as a
USB pen drive just in case something bad happens to the console.
One way to do this is to load the show from the hard disk then save it
to the removable disk using the Disk button as described in the
previous section.
You can also use the VDU and mousepad to select options from the
Pearl Expert Titan window on the VDU as described below.

To backup existing show files to USB drive you need to copy the
showfile across

clear the console. All programming and patching is deleted, but user
options are not changed.
