A file BackUp & Restore utility has been added to KatanaMan Pro and GT1Man as a standard feature.
This provides a means to make a secure copy of your installation, which can then be restored onto the same, or another device.
This provides protection against inadvertent data loss or device loss, and the ability to reinstall an existing installation onto a new device.
