 The backup stick makes a complete backup of your head unit and your T-Box onto a USB stick — before you try ADC or anything else. With that backup we can build a firmware stick for exactly **your** original version if something goes wrong later. That matters most if your head unit does **not** have firmware 0051: for 0051 there's already the [[:software:stock_firmware|stock firmware 0051]], for every other version we have nothing yet. The backup stick makes a complete backup of your head unit and your T-Box onto a USB stick — before you try ADC or anything else.

   * It copies all 11 partitions of the head unit (boot, recovery, system, vendor, logo and so on, about 1.3 GB together) onto the stick, with checksums and a list of what's inside. The head unit is only **read**; the only thing written to is the stick. Which partitions those are is under [[:backup|Filesystem & partitions]].   * It copies all 11 partitions of the head unit (boot, recovery, system, vendor, logo and so on, about 1.3 GB together) onto the stick, with checksums and a list of what's inside.

 +  * **New in 0.15:** Connect app 1.9.41. If you install ADC through its window afterwards, the installation runs straight from the stick and the road map comes along — after 0.14 it did not that way (then install ADC with the factory reset, see [[:software:adc|ADC]]). The screen now also shows "ADC Backup-Stick 0.15"; 0.14 wrongly showed 0.13 there.
   * **New in 0.14:** the Connect app stays on the head unit after the backup. On a car without ADC it now leaves Bluetooth, the hotspot and the original CarPlay alone and only looks after USB sticks. Before, it took them over — which stopped an external wireless CarPlay adapter from working. If an older backup stick switched the original CarPlay off, it switches it back on once.   * **New in 0.14:** the Connect app stays on the head unit after the backup.

   * **New in 0.13:** whether your head unit's firmware comes along is now decided by **two** numbers: the AP version and the firmware number (operating system). If either is new to us, the stick packs the firmware — before, only the AP version counted.   * **New in 0.13:** whether your head unit's firmware comes along is now decided by **two** numbers: the AP version and the firmware number (operating system).
