Backing Up Your sBitx SD Card

This procedure works for both the 32-bit as-shipped radio and the 64-bit version.

Creating a full backup of your SD card inside the sBitx is useful if you need to restore factory settings later.

What You Need

• A blank USB storage drive (32GB or larger)
  ⚠️ This process will erase all data on the USB drive!
• A USB mouse
• sBitx

Backup Procedure

1. Power on the sBitx.
2. Insert the USB storage drive into an available USB port.
3. Open the menu and select:
   Accessories → SD Card Copier
4. Set Copy From Device to the internal storage (usually /dev/mmcblk0).
5. Set Copy To Device to the USB storage drive (usually /dev/sda).
6. Click Start – this process may take a while, so be patient.
7. When complete, remove the USB drive and store it safely for future use.

Now you have a full backup of your sBitx SD card, ready for restoration if needed. 🚀
