Devices

Museum keeps a point-in-time copy of a device before BakBeat prepares, syncs, or writes to it. You can browse that copy later, play from the preserved files, or put the device back the way it was.

Museum — a read-only browse of a device you have already preserved.

Preserve before you change it

Preserve in Museum captures the mounted device and writes a catalog of what was on it. Playback uses those archived files. Preparation, sync, and other device changes stay out of a Museum piece.

  • Browse the preserved catalog without the player connected.
  • Export saves a copy of the preserved files somewhere else. That does not put them back on a device.
  • Restore is previewed first. If you continue, BakBeat empties the device, then copies this Museum piece onto it. The device becomes the preserved copy.
