Hi Richards,

the much faster way for an "Audya-HD-Backup" is to open the Keyboard, unplug the HD, plug it via an "IDE to USB-Adaptor" to a PC and the run a backup-software that is able to make "sector-copies", like "Acronis True Image" ( for Windows ) or "FileZilla" ( a Linux-Boot-CD ).

The backup needs about 20 Minutes doing it this way.

BUT :

The "KETRON 2011 Style & SoundUpdate" and "UK 2012" Sticks wonīt work anymore due to "copy-protection"!!! This copy-protection is not related to the Audyas serialnumber ( they donīt have one stored in the ROM, itīs just a label on the chassis ! ) but to the harddiskīs serialnumber !

You then have to send these sticks to Ketron / your dealer and hope that they will reset them. Then youīll have to re-install them.

The problem with copy-protection is always, that "the good people" ( who buy it legally ) have to suffer, "the bad ones" ( who get it via rapidshare a.s.o. ) donīt.
Nevertheless I fully agree that copy-protection is absolutely necessary !!!
