HOW-TO GUIDE: How to make or restore a backup of the navigation device (or SD card of
PDA navigation software)?
From time to time, it is useful to make a backup of the contents of your navigation software or
device to avoid losing all or some of your data in case of a hardware error or accidental data
loss. This guide explains how to make a backup of your device and how to restore a backup
if it becomes necessary.
It is suggested to make a backup in at least the following cases:
right after you acquire a device or navigation software;
before using Naviextras Toolbox to update your navigation software and its content;
after updating your device or software.
By default, Naviextras Toolbox reminds you to make a backup in each of these events.
Creating a backup
After connecting your device and logging in, click the Backup button on the left panel to
access the backup and restore functions.
You can see the list of existing backups, which is empty at the beginning. Click Create
Backup to start making a backup.
Depending on your PC's USB port and device capabilities (support for USB 1.1 or USB 2.0)
the time needed to make a backup may vary. Please wait until the backup process is
completed. Do not disconnect or switch off your device during the process.
