This section explains the process of moving required files during a robot backup. From software

5.4.1 Hardware Requirements 
The following hardware is needed: 
•  SD Card (Universal Robots 4GB Industrial grade SD card) 
•  A standard SD card reader 
 
 
 
5.4.2 Software Requirements 
When using Windows operation system, to read a Linux partition a software file system driver is 
required;  in  this  example  we  are  using  “Linux  File  Systems  for  Windows”  by  Paragon  but  other 
Windows Linux reader can be used as well (these are however not tested by Universal Robots). 
NOTICE 
“Linux File Systems for Windows” by Paragon software is a third-party software.  
Universal Robot take no responsibility for this software. 
 
5.4.3 How to Access Linux Partition from Windows 
With the software from Paragon you can access all partitions on the SD-card. 
The files needed are located on the partition called datafs 
 
If the partition is not shown, it could be it is not mounted automatically.  
To correct this, open the Paragon software, select the partition (1), select the Mount icon (2), select 
the Volume drive letter (3) then Mount (4).
