Backup and Restore

To backup or restore all the installed applications with their settings, you must open the System Settings interface in Config OS mode using the tap-tap procedure.

See "Enter System Settings in Config OS mode via tap-tap procedure "

Then log as admin and select the "Management" option. From this page, you can use the "Get" button to backup inside an external memory (e.g. USB key) the contents of the Data and the Settings partitions. Use instead the "Update" button to restore the contents from a previous backup.

Management command is available only when logged as admin.

Data Partition

The data partition contains the applications and they settings

Settings Partition

The settings partition contains the settings of your device (this means the configuration parameters entered using the System Settings interface)

When you update the System Settings from a backup you must be sure that the backup was executed from a device with the same BSP version (Main OS).

The MD5 file

The "Get" command will provide only a file with the contents of the partition (e.g. data.tar.gz), but if you want to restore the same file, using the "Update" command, you must provide even an MD5 checksum file.

The MD5 checksum file must have the same name as the files that you want to load with the .md5 suffix as e.g.:

• data.tar.gz
• data.tar.gz.md5

On the Internet, it is easy to find various tools that calculate the MD5 checksum of a file. On Windows 10 it is also possible to use the "CertUtil" utility on the command line, e.g.

The MD5 checksum file must have only one line. If the utility that calculates the checkum generates a file with multiple lines, the additional lines must be deleted.
