To my HORROR, I could not restore my music. For testing purposes, I tried to do a new backup with the new hard drive and experienced the "file handle process is running" error. I called tech support looking for what I was doing wrong, only to find out that it was not me, but rather the piano. Tech support was not aware of this problem, and are now working on a fix. This is not the first time an update has broken the backup routine.
