Backup procedure to Micro SD

[cacibi]

The manual states that whenever exiting the Maintenance screen, the MicroSD card has to be unmounted then physically ejected. I know it's in the manual, but - is it really necessary to physically eject the card every time you exit the Maintenance Screen? Just seems counter to having a "screw in place" protective cover over the SD card slot.

To exit the Maintenance screen:
 

Tap the  Eject Micro SD Card button, tap OK in the “microSD card is unmounted” dialog, and then gently push the microSD card inward to physically eject it from the card slot.
 

Tap  Shutdown
 

As instructed in the alert dialog that appears, wait for the Stadium Footswitch 1’s LED to become unlit, then switch the Stadium’s power switch to off.
 

You can now power your Helix Stadium device back on normally and resume using it.

Hi !

This is only necessary if you have a SDCard dedicated to yours backups, for exemple.

OK, that makes sense. But...the manual says you need to do this to exit the Maintenance screen. So what do I do instead once the Backup has been created? Do I go through the dialog to eject the card, then just leave it in place? Or is there a way to bypass that dialog?

(I don't want to start this process until I know how to get out of it, so apologies if it is obvious in practice.)

 

Thanks

In the maintenance screen you can bypass the “eject card” dialog by choosing the Shutdown button and following a brief instruction. That will leave the card in place for the next startup.

OK, thanks for getting back to me. The manual implies that the Shutdown button is only available once you have ejected the card, which is what confused me.

Thanks again for your help.
