Bluesound Vault Restore from Backup


To those of you out there using the Bluesound vault and the Bluesound back up software to backup all your music to an external HD, has anyone had to restore some or all your music from your back up? If yes, I would love to hear about your experiences.

I have not needed to back up, hopefully never. But I did find out that their backup software uses a type of Unix, so the backup drive cannot be copied to another drive or PC. So you actually don’t have a backup that is useful for anything else but to another Bluesound. You can back it up direct to a PC without their software but depending on several factors it might not work and if it does, it could take Days to do it. That said, I still love it. 
@llarry You are right, I do have it backed up, twice in fact. But when I wanted to reuse the first backup drive, it turns out you can’t reuse them. So basically I’m going to either end up with multiple backups on multiple drives or see what happens when I try to back it up to a PC directly.
