Default back up your tunes

idk if all of you have backed up your tunes, but i think it would be a good idea in case something happens to your tuner or computer or both. back up your special tunes on a disc or thumb drive in case your computer crashes or you break your tuner and need a new one, the tune will be on a disc and easy to reload. only takes a couple minutes, and may prevent a big headache in the future.

ooh....i thought you meant taking the tunes on the tuner and saving them.....eh...i have all like 8-10 of mine in emails and on my laptop and desktop.

The diablo is fairly easy to get off the tuner and onto your harddrive. SCT it can be done i have been told and read but its not not quite as "user friendly"

Yea, with SCT I think you can back it up with the XC2Dump program, but it's not in a form that can be uploaded to the tuner apparently. You have to email it to SCT for them to convert it. There should be some way to back it up for immediate use if needed.
