Making a Backup
Before performing the backup or restore operations, do the following;
■ Check that there is enough space in the main unit’s memory and on the
storage device. If the storage device does not have enough free space,
you cannot save the backup data. The backup data is saved as a file
named backup.dat on your storage device.
■ Make sure the main unit’s power is off when loading and unloading the
CF/SD card.
■ Save current data in the main unit’s memory before backing it up on the
storage device.
