I did not make a backup before I upgraded to the latest OS and rig manager software. It was a mistake not to backup. Frankly, I glossed over that portion of the manual describing backup as I focused (struggled) setting up some of the more basic functions of the profiler being quite anxious to explore its capabilities.
It was certainly a mistake to not backup and one from which I hope others may benefit.
Be sure to read the procedure on backing up the profiler before you upgrade. Keep in mind this cannot be accomplished through rig manager and must be physically done at the profiler.
