guys, can someone quickly tell me if the backup saves the sample as well as the settings {start end, level etc} cos I dont wanna lose my stuff to test it. If it does, can I keep loading on new samples and storing them on the card to make use of the space?? AND if so, if I format does that take the backup with it. Cos otherwise, I would have to delete all the samples 1 by 1.. THANKS

Pretty sure the backup also saves start and end points and the levels. If you load new samples onto a pre-existing backup, you will have to back it up again by saving it to a new pad, then delete the old backup to save space.
