Has anyone verified if the BACKUP/RESTORE functionality really works?

Has anyone tried it? Does the restore procedure really work, and does it really restore everything?

  • I have not been able to use the backup feature.
    I made a copy before resetting.
    Then when you do a full reset the watch defaults to automatically make a carved copy. It turns out that the first time you connect and synchronise, your working copy is overwritten and overwritten with a new "empty" version. If you disable auto backup right away, it might work, but I haven't experimented any more. I realised that Garmin does not check anything at the moment, it does everything in some way. Maybe I'm wrong.
    A copy in the course of operation can be overwritten, only it seemed useless to me.

  • Works like a charm. I did it last week after having updated to a 965. All is restored as on your current device. Had zero issues.
