Backing Up System Settings
Before performing a System Restore or a Software Update, back up your system’s settings (such as Console settings, Show files
and Presets) first.
To back up current settings:
1 Go to the Filing page and click the Transfer tab.
2 Connect a portable storage device (such as a USB flash drive, for-
matted as FAT32) to the system. The device appears above the right
column of the
Transfer tab. If it does not, click the External Drive se-
lector and choose the device.
3 In the center column, select the type of data to transfer. To backup (transfer) all data,
click
Console so that it is highlighted.
4 For selections other than Console, in the left column select the items you want to
transfer f to your portable storage device. The items that appear in the left column
depend on the type of data selected in the center column.
5 Click the lit Transfer>> button. Large transfers may take time. Transfer status is
shown by a progress bar. A transfer can be canceled by clicking
Cancel.
IMPORTANT!
Be aware of the following additional back-up recommendations.
