Re: How to preserve personal settings between R1CBU firmware upgrades?

Hi Randy,
You probably didn't get much traction before because it's been mentioned many times on the mailing list. Before you flash your SD card with the new firmware version, put the SD card *into your computer* and you should see a disk appear named "DATA". Copy all the files off of that drive somewhere else, like on your main computer.
Then, flash the SD card with the new firmware and boot the SD card in the radio at least once. Yes, your settings will appear to be reset.
Then, put the SD card *back* into your computer and copy the saved files back into the DATA drive. This restores your settings.
I have a question... I upgraded to v0.28 and love it a lot. But every time I upgrade I have to redo all my settings. I understand that there's a way to backup and then reload my settings... Someone suggested backing up “data”? Can somebody give a summary on how to do that? Would be grateful... redoing it every time is no fun.

P.S. I previously buried this question in a barely-related thread and got no traction, so I thought it better to create a topic.
