About this chapter

Itis extremely important to make backups of your projector data after each setting change.
Thischapter describes how to use Barco’s Projector Support software tool to make a backup of the key data of a projector and how
to restore this backup.
Afull backup holds the fullset of data which is available on the PM P of the projector:
• panel settings
• projector settings
• standard/customer files
• serial number
•history
• runtimes
• option key
•etc.
Recoveryof the serial number and the runtimes is possible, on condition that the processor of the target PMP does not contain this
information yet (i.e. it must be a new PMP).
Ina (local) network where multiple PMP boards are present, only replace one PMP at a time to prevent restoring
a backup to a wrong PMP.

CAUTION:Abackup file includes alignment data thatis related to the original projector only: uploading these

filesto another projector may result in bad image quality!

CAUTION:Pressing<Clear settings> in the Tools section deletes all data from the PMP,even default settings

and factory data!
