Download a backup file
The rack software has an option to download a complete image file of your Axum rack.
All the settings that are made on your Axum are in this image file so it is important to download this each time you are making changes in the settings.
The configuration for the functions of thecontrol surface are also saved at the Axum rack.
The control surface only contains the Network settings and added logo's so this is less important to backup.
At the System configuration you'll find a link “Download backup”.
This download will be the same size as the Compact Flash card in your Axum system and can be written to your card with the instructions below.
