  • The purpose of this document is to explain how to properly backup audio and video card-based media on either Macintosh or Windows Operating Systems. 
  •  *Improper backup can lead to problems such as corrupted media, missing metadata information, and failure to properly span longer duration clips.


1.) Remove the card from your recording device, unless otherwise instructed (USB cable included with equipment)
2.) Option A: Insert the card directly into a similar card port on your laptop or computer.  Do not force the card.  If you are unsure if the card and port properly match consult a lab proctor for information
2.) Option B: Insert the card into similar card port on an external USB card reader.  Card readers can be found at many of our lab computers or can be checked out from a lab proctor.  Here is a list of recommended card readers you can purchase for yourself
3.) Insert the external USB card reader into a USB port on your laptop or computer
4.) The card should mount on your Macintosh Desktop

     If using Windows, the card should be accessible through a new Windows Explorer window

    Depending on what recording device you used, cards will sometimes have different names like UNTITLED, NONAME, ETC.  These names are not important.
