In this video we take a look at how to create a backup of our ETHOS setup on our transmitter. This backup method will allow you to get back to how you were at the time of the backup, even if you need to use a new MicroSD card.
We also separate out the backup in to two categories:
- Generic, which holds files that will work on all versions of ETHOS
- Version specific backup files, such as models and the radio.bin file.
