Backup to LAN

Backing up to LAN first requires that a companion device is setup. With setup complete, backup to LAN will make a complete copy of your primary device to a companion device.

  1. Select Menu, Backup/restore, Backup to LAN
  2. Confirm you want to perform the backup. Note that this will completely wipe the companion device and replace it with a mirror of the primary device.

Worth repeating, Backup to LAN will wipe the companion device and replace it with a mirror copy of the primary device.
