FOX LiveUpdate can automatically backup old BIOS before update. This feature can be
enabled in the "Conigure-System" setup. Please refer to "Conigure-System" section
for more detail. The default backup directory is C:\LiveUpdate_Temp, but the backup
ile name will be automatically generated. It is hard to ind it out from a backup directory,
and we recommend you using Explorer to check date/time message of this backup ile
to ind it out and write its name down to remember it.
