Bluesound Vault Restore from Backup

Well, deadhead, may I suggest that you do back up your vault. It WILL fail at some point. Guaranteed. It will NOT last forever and you will be very upset to lose all your music.  And I did read about the proprietary software which is why I’m seeking people who had real world experience restoring their music. I just want to make sure that it actually works. 

here’s what I’ve learned about their Backup: since they’re backup software is proprietary and you cannot see what’s on it you have to trust that when your vault crashes their restore feature will work. If you are overly cautious, like me, get another external drive, attach it to your computer and just copy the “music” folder over to it. Better to be safe than sorry in my book. I would not want to find out, after burning over 1000 CDs, that their backup doesn’t work.  

Good news on BluOS proprietary backup. After burning approximately 200 CDs, the unit belched out what looked like a gasket or a belt with the last CD that I burned. Not getting any response from bluesound’s tech-support, I called the dealer, who gladly, and thankfully, took back the unit and sent me a new one. Prior to returning the old unit, I took a backup. After setting up the new unit, I did the restore and all went well. It restored all of the music that I had burned on the previous unit.
