6.9.2 Backup
This is a system backup specific to your Tobii software-related files. The device automatically and regularly, once a week, backs
up the data that is associated with your Tobii communications applications (Tobii Communicator Page Sets, files, settings, etc.),
your Gaze Interaction files (profiles, calibration settings, interaction settings, etc.) and your device specific settings from the Con-
trol Center. You can manually start the backup below and/or restore the data from one of the three latest backups. Be aware that
the changes made since the latest backup will be reverted if you choose to restore from a previous backup. All files in the My
Documents folder will be backed up as well, if space is available on the microSD-card, as a second priority after the Tobii soft-
ware-related files. TToo bbaacckk uupp aallll ffiilleess oonn yyoouurr ddeevviiccee pplleeaassee uussee MMiiccrroossoofftt’’ss oowwnn WWiinnddoowwss BBaacckkuupp aanndd RReessttoorree

The backup process executes once a week (every Sunday at 15.00) and the three latest backups are saved on the microSD-
card.
If your I-Series device is not up and running at this time the backup will be performed at next start up.
The process backs up files for all users. If the backup drive does not have enough space some files will not be backed
up. Image files have the lowest priority (backed up last). The largest file size for the backup of individual files is 100
MB, files larger than this will be excluded.
The backup files are placed in the directory QQ::\\BBaacckkuupp\\<<ddaattee>> ((OOnn tthhee mmiiccrrooSSDD--ccaarrdd)).
Tobii will not take responsibility for any other data than the “Tobii applications data”
