Saved my day!!!!!! Installed 4.3 release 2 on my windows 7 64 bits as usual. Ripped a cd on and usb cd rom drive. Changed the library folder to a wd elements 2tb usb3 usb hdd on drive D: (Moving all the music in the library to the new location? Yes) Made connection with: nw-hd1 and nw-f807 (Japanese version playing atracPlus 352 and flac 1411 native on the preinstalled Walkman app) SenseMe working correctly (like X-dj on the nac-hd1e). Atrac hdd devices were recognized right away by Windows. Exchange of music as usual. Backup my home Xp computer to eSata hdd with Sonicstage Backup Tool (200 gb of atacPlus 352!!!!) took 4 hrs. Restored on the laptop (always connect wd elements first to get the D: drive for the ss library) using usb3 to sata converter. What the F********* is the authentication of the datebase online for??? Were is the backup tool making a connection online to verify??? Is Sony able to corrupt the possibility to restore in the future???? Restore took also 4 hrs and all my music was available on the laptop to exchange with the Atrac hdd players. Once I tried to restore a fresh (up to date) database on an other computer with an Sonicstage installation based on a restore. This action was cancelled by the Backup Tool. I guess the restore only functions on a new installation of Sonicstage on a computer were SS had new been installed before. Yours mdpu
