Backup

• We recommended making a complete backup of the eTrex SE before doing anything else with it.
• It is not difficult to accidentally delete and/or overwrite important system files and/or user data on the device.
• Creating a 'Factory Default' archival copy of the eTrex SE now may help prevent unwanted anxiety in the future.
• Tip: Make frequent archival copies to allow for future restoration to a recent configuration should it become necessary.

Create Archive

Connect the eTrex SE to your computer via USB cable. If the eTrex SE prompts "Use MTP (media transfer)?", select 'Yes' and press 'OK'. Wait for the eTrex SE to enter MTP Mode. Create a new folder on your desktop named 'eTrex SE Archive' (or something similar). Open the file explorer window and position it so both windows are visible. Find the eTrex SE icon/folder (blue triangle) and open it. Open the 'Internal Storage' icon/folder. Click and drag the 'GARMIN' folder to the 'eTrex SE Archive' folder and release the mouse button. Wait for the copy process to finish completely. Disconnect the eTrex SE from your computer. Rename the copied 'GARMIN' folder to include a date suffix (example: 'GARMIN - 27DEC22' or 'GARMIN - 221227' etc). Save the 'eTrex SE Archive' folder in a safe location, such as an external USB flash drive.
