Backing up your navigation device
The easiest way to make a backup of all the contents of your TomTom navigation device is by
using TomTom HOME. You can make one backup per device and store it on your computer.
When you make a new backup, the old backup for that device is overwritten.
1. Insert your memory card into the card reader connected to your computer.
TomTom HOME starts automatically.
Tip: If TomTom HOME does not start, do one of the following:
Windows: Click on the Start menu and go to All Programs > TomTom and then click on
TomTom HOME.
Mac: Click Go in the Finder menu and choose Applications, then double-click TomTom
HOME.
2. Click Back up and restore in the HOME menu.
3. Click Back up my device.
4. Click Back up now.
HOME backs up your device.
5. Wait until HOME has finished creating the backup, then click Done.
To see where HOME saves your backups do one of the following:
Windows: Click Tools > TomTom HOME Preferences and then select the Folder Preferences tab.
Mac: Click TomTom HOME > Preferences... and then select the Folder Preferences tab.
To restore a backup, click Back up and restore in the HOME menu and then click Restore my de-
vice.
