4.6.7 Backing up and restoring data
Every day at midnight, a backup of the animal data and device data is performed automatically
so that in the event of data loss a current backup of the data is available.
NOTICE!
Data can be lost when the program version of the automatic feeder is updated. You must
also save the data of the automatic feeder manually, for example to an SD card.
Otherwise, calves may suffer from malnutrition if incorrect feed portions are dispensed. Malnu-
trition can cause impaired growth and development, increased susceptibility to illness or even
the death of your calves.
Note: The automatic feeder performs an automatic data backup every hour. If you make chang-
es and then switch the automatic feeder off, changes made within the last hour are lost. To save
the current data, perform an internal data backup.

1. Navigate via > Device data > Data backup to the Internal (automatic feeder) sub-
