14.4.2 Backup
Backup allows you to back up your saved data to a designated file on the internal
hard drive, or to an external drive (e.g. USB flash drive). This option can be used as
general maintenance to ensure you have a safe backup of your saved data, or if an
issue occurs where a system restore (see Operating System Restore on page 23)
is necessary and you need to retain your saved data.
Only the following types of data are backed up:
• ShopStream Data (saved movie/data files)
• Lab Scope Settings (presets)
• Vehicle History Records and Favorites
z To Backup data files:
1. From the Home screen select System Settings.
2. From the System Settings main menu select Data Backup > Backup.
The destination drive dialog box opens (Figure 14-4).
3. Select a drive destination.
Drive designations (e.g. E:, F: etc.), are only visible when external drives are
connected to the diagnostic tool.
