    ADMIN SETTINGS BACKUP

    Hi All,

    I learned something valuable to me today that I wanted to share.

    I have a thread under the pathpilot sub group about problems I had booting my 1100, that is now fixed, but I learned something in the process from Tormach.

    Maybe it's common knowledge, but it was new to me.

    If you apply pathpilot updates using a USB stick instead of direct download to the machine, the controller places a copy of the ADMIN SETTINGS BACKUP zip file on that stick.

    That ended up making the repair to my machine very easy, I just reinstalled the PP v2.0 image from the Tormach stick, then applied the latest update and then ADMIN BACKUP RESTORE and I was good to go.

    I realize this thread is redundant with the other one, but I wanted everyone to know about the automatic back up to the USB stick.

    Glad youre up and running again Terry!

    Sure would be nice if Tormach would put on a weekend help line as that seems to be when most of the Tormach guys need help......................

    Thanks for the tip! I normally update through the wifi, but good to have options.
