Profile backup when exchanging unit ?

Is it possible to make a ‘backup’ of the unit to save my different bike profiles , screens etc ?

My 1030 has the ‘blue halo’ screen issue and is going to be replaced.  

It’s probably had it for 12months but never noticed until the weekend when I saw the screen on my mates new unit.

    This is the process for an Edge, but it is very similar for the watches, just some of the folders are named a little differently.

     

    On the Edge go down in to the Garmin folder and select all the folders and copy them to your PC. Don’t copy the files in the Garmin folder otherwise you will be there all-day copying maps.

     

    On you PC you have the following folders

    Follow the guide below to decide which files you need and where to place them on the new unit or the original unit after a reset.

      Thank you for this post.  I just added the additional directories that were missed in Garmin's instructions to my Edge backup tool.
