Updates, Backups and Sharing Sounds 271
✓ Usually, you can update to the latest operating system in one step. However, if the operating system currently
installed on your PROFILER should happen to be older than 1.8.2 Release, you need to take an interim step, and
upgrade to that operating system version first. Leaving this step out might lead to an error.
Creating Backups
We recommend backing up your Rigs, presets, Performances, and settings on a regular basis. To do so, please plug
the prepared USB stick into your PROFILER, switch into Browse or Performance Mode, hit soft button labeled “USB
Stick” and chose the “Backup/Restore” option. The backup archive will contain all your Rigs, Performances, module
and section presets, MIDI assignments, Snapshots, and global settings. If an older backup is already present on
your USB stick, it will not be deleted. Each backup archive is given a unique name. To backup, select the soft button
labeled “Backup” and wait until you're notified that the backup has been completed. This procedure can take several
minutes. Never remove the USB stick until you're prompted to do so. All successful backups can be found inside a
folder called “Backups” on your USB stick.
✓ PROFILER backups include all settings related to the PROFILER Remote.
Restoring Backups
This option restores a backup from your USB stick to the PROFILER. If multiple backups are detected, you will be
asked to select one from the list. Note that restoring a backup will replace all Rigs, Performances, module and
section presets, MIDI assignments, Snapshots and global settings.
✓ Backups are generally interchangeable between PROFILER variants including the Stage. If you intend to restore a
backup of the Stage on any other PROFILER model, that PROFILER should at least run OS 7.0. Pedal
