I try to get consistent backups on USB Key on the Player. I only get it sometimes working. The manual says:
"To do so, please plug the prepared USB flash-drive into your PROFILER while it’s
unpowered. Press and hold the BANK button while powering on."
I don't really get it ho long to press and when to release. At the "Banks" button there comes a white light, then green and then green yellow.
Can't find any description to that lights and how long to press to get a backup.
Anyone figured out yet?
No, but I'm interested in this topic. Can you not just connect it to RM on a PC and do a full backup that way?

as soon as the lights start moving you can release the buttons. When the LEDs return to their normal state it indicates that the backup was done.

Actually no. Full Backups can only be done via USB key. With RM you can just exchange and backup your rigs.
Two different animals:
1. Rig Manager backups its own Local Library and settings. This way you could transfer these to another PC or change platforms from Windows to macOS and vice verse.
2. PROFILER backup is always on USB flash drive and includes all data and settings on that device. Such a backup doesn't include the OS itself.
Thanks for the clarification folks!

That way it worked just fine. I just pressed too long and the the green light with flashing yellow came up (whatever that means).
Thank you!
I tested the backup to USB function and it appears to work fine. Will test the restore function soon.

When you have a chance, let me know how you do a restore. I'm guessing it's NOT the same as initiating a backup?
it's all in the Player's manual: https://www.kemper-amps.com/downloads
Restoring Backups
This option restores a backup from your USB flash-drive to the PROFILER Player. If multiple Player backups are stored on that stick, the latest backup found will be restored. Note that restoring a backup will overwrite all data and settings on your Player. To perform a restore of your latest backup, please plug USB flash drive into your PROFILER while it’s unpowered. Press and hold BANK, FX 1, and FX 2 buttons while powering on. The Player will restore and restart
Thanks, I'm slowly reading the manual .

This ISN’T in the manual….do you just format it as FAT32?

Argh! I was afraid I’d missed this somehow lol
Thanks!
This doesn't work for me - tried 4 different USB sticks - it flashes for a bit then alternates red blocks of LEDs - when i remove the USB stick and put back in computer there are no files there

I got one of four sticks to work. An ANCIENT USB stick from like 20 years ago works. None of the other newer ones work. I did format to FAT32.

Thanks. But how long is the time ? I wait now 20min and its still flashing 🤘
a backup should only take a minute. If the LEDs still flash there might be an issue with the stick. Please try to reformat it to FAT32 in your computer and try again or use a different stick. Make sure that the stick is no bigger than 64 GB.
Thanks, all runs fine now 💪
