I am afraid not in terms of direct connection.
The problem I find with Yamaha Montage is that it is very fussy on the choice of USB stick, and it is best to use one that has been formatted in the Montage. There is no real way of checking the integrity of a backup until you try and reload it. I was having problems trying to get two backups before the OS 1.2 upgrade (as it wipes the synth memory) - it came good when I swapped to a different brand of USB sticks (SanDisk)
Something that Yamaha should address, and I am hoping that as this ESP VST evolves it will include a better way of transferring data. Or I might add MIDI (over USB) transfer to my montage.factory librarian once I have have it updated to be compatible with the Montage M (Yamaha have changed the file formats).
Yamaha are really behind the curve here. My 2014 Kronos can transfer data via network connection and FTP, which is much quicker and more reliable.
