Backup allows you to back up your saved data to a designated file on the internal hard drive, or to an external drive (e.g. USB flash drive). This option can be used as general maintenance to ensure you have a safe backup of your saved data, or if an issue occurs where a system restore (see Operating System Restore) is necessary and you need to retain your saved data.

Only the following types of data are backed up:

●

ShopStream Data (saved movie/data files)

●

Lab Scope Settings (presets)

●

Vehicle History Records and Favorites
