Creating backups - Phil1988/FreeDi GitHub Wiki

In most cases a basic backup is totally sufficient and fine. However a full image backup never hurts and will help if you want to revert back to the the stock system... ...for whatever insane reason you might have ;)

Basic backup:

Use your favorite browser to access your printer. For the stock printer use the port 10088: http//YourPrintersIPaddess:10088 For non stock printers no port (default 80): http//YourPrintersIPaddess

On Fluidd (eg. for the stock system)

  3. Remove the two screws and detach the EMMC card: image
  4. Use an EMMC card reader to connect it to your PC.
  5. Open an imager software like Win32DiskImager and backup the entire EMMC by creating an *.img file: image
