To back up the HDD of the iR, the PC must have approx 300 MB of free space at maximum.
Making a Backup and Formatting Hard Disk Drive with Service Support Tool
1) If SDL or SSO is used for the login service, switch to default authentication before backing up the user information. Although SST will back up SDL user
information, it is recommended to export the user information just in case. For SDL user information backup, go to User Management page of Simple Device
Login site and export the data. (The SDL login page opens with the URL "http://<device IP address>:8000/sdl/" ).
If a hard disk of a system that uses SDL or SSO is formatted without changing the login service to the default authentication, the error message "The login service
must be set again with SMS" appears and the system cannot start up when you attempt to restart the system after formatting. If this problem occurs, change the
login service to SDL or SSO with SMS. If you cannot access to SMS since you do not have the IP address of the device, start the system with FIXIP mode -
hold down the numeric keys 1 and 7 and turn the power switch on. The IP address "172.16.1.100" will be automatically assigned for the device. Then log in to
SMS specifying the address.
2) While holding down the 2 and 8 buttons, start up the device in download mode.
As in the case of Sramimg.bin, the function is available only when the device is in Download Mode.
3) Connect the PC to the device and start the Service Support Tool.
4) In Download/Upload session of SST, select the appropriate device model, System in the tree view, and take necessary steps to connect to the device.
5) Click Upload the Backup Data button.
6) Click the option "Meapback.bin" from Name list of Backup Data Available for Selection , and click Start Storing button.
