5. If you saved the backup .zip file on the PathPilot
controller, you must manually transfer it — along with
other files you want to back up (like G-code programs)
— to a USB drive. From the PathPilot interface, on the
File tab, in the Controller Files window, select the
backup .zip file and any other files you want to back up.
Figure 7-97: Controller Files window on the File tab.
Note: Files must have unique names. If they
don't, PathPilot prompts you to overwrite or
rename files, or cancel the file transfer.
6. To prevent errors, make sure you don't include the
following folders:
l logfiles
l media
l ReleaseNotes
l subroutines
l USB
7. Select Copy to USB.
The files are copied and display in the USBFiles window.
8. Eject the USB drive from the PathPilot controller.

drive on a device other than the PathPilot controller, and
review the list of files on the USB drive.
11. (Optional) As an extra precaution, copy all the files onto
the device.
About Backup Files

the file externally to use if you replace your controller or
restore it to factory settings.
