Disk-Related Functions (Disk Utility)
Creating a Duplicate Disk
This function creates a complete copy of all data recorded on a disk
and puts it on another disk (Backup). It is a good idea to make
backup copies of disks containing important data to prevent data
loss even if one of the disks should be damaged.
• Backup operation uses internal memory. If you wish to keep the
song data currently in internal memory, save it to disk before
executing the backup operation.
• It is not possible to make a backup copy of the master disk of
Standard MIDI Files releases, etc. from Roland.
• It is not possible to create a backup copy of a 2DD disk on a 2HD
disk, and vice versa.
1. Use the Fantom to format the disk that you want to use as a
backup disk (p. 191).
2. Access the Disk Utility screen (p. 187).
3. Press [6 (Tools)].
The Select Command window appears.
4. Press or to select “Backup Floppy Disk,” and then

5. Insert the backup-source disk into the disk drive, and press
[8 (Execute)].
The display will ask “Internal Song will be erased. OK?”
6. If you are sure that you want to erase the internal song to
perform backup, press [7 (OK)].
To cancel the backup operation, press [8 (Cancel)].
The display will indicate “Reading Source Disk...”, and the data
stored on the backup disk will be loaded into internal memory.
7. When the display indicates “Eject Source Disk.”, remove the
backup-source disk. Then insert the backup-destination disk
you prepared in step 1, and press [8 (Execute)].
8. When the display shows “Eject Destination Disk” it’s time to
remove the backup source disk and insert the backup
destination disk, and press [8 (Execute)].
9. When the display once again indicates “Eject Source Disk.”,
exchange the backup-source and backup-destination disks,
and press [8 (Execute)].
10.Repeat steps 8 and 9.
The frequency of repeating steps depends on the amount of data
on disk.
When “Backup Complete.” is displayed, backup has been
completed.
