Environment

The tool can be used via two methods:
Method 1:
Obtain a Type 1.0 compatible CFast card reader for PC to use the Backup and Recovery Tool
Method 2:
Run the Backup & Recovery Tool on a second HMIG5U/HMIG5U2 using the Data Storage CFast card slot as a card reader. An SD Card or USB memory stick will be required to hold the .BIN image file, as the C:\ will not have enough free storage space for the .BIN file.
