TT720 backup from Windows Explorer

[peasemore]

I was offered new Western & Cen Europe map via TT Home; I had this particular map on my SD card, so assume Home(8.3) would know it should go, not on TT hard drive.

However, to install it said I needed to remove data, and only candidiate offered was W Europe map; so wrongly I now see, deleted that via selecting that & ticking.

Prior to this had backed up both via TT Home, and Win XP as explained on this forum. (Remembered to show hidden files).

Now to try & get back to where I was, I copied my PC back up copy of the TT files and pasted(tried!) on to the TT drive showing on my PC; however, all I see is that destination drive is full!

Should I therefore first delete all the data showing on my TT drive to free space?; I assume when viewing via my PC this is showing all data both on TT's hard drive & it's SD card?
Thanks for assistance.

As you have the full backup I would format the device to wipe it clear of anything, remove the SD card to avoid confusing what is going where.

Copy/ Paste the backup to the device then switch it on and see which version of software is running on the device, if it isn't 8,3 you will have to connect it to the PC and use Home to update it to the 8,3 release. - Mike

Mike thanks;

So I remove SD card, and just delete everything via Explorer that shows, inc hidden files on TT hard drive?

Do I need to wipe SD card too, as presumably when pasting stuff back it will have same capacity Issue?

Yes am on 8.3.

I had the same problem when trying to install the latest map, 815.2003. I got a message saying destination drive full. I disconnected my TT from the PC, switched on and it told me that I had no maps present.
I reconnected to the PC, decided to empty the TT and replace it with my previous backup (V8.3 Map810). It still came up half way through "destination drive full". I formatted the TT but still could not replace my backup.
In desperation, I let HOME run a restore, which worked. I have now fitted a 2Gb card and got the latest version of operating system and latest map. I was unable to use my backup copy of MapSettings.cfg as it crashed the unit.
I have not loaded any POI's apart from our cameras yet, as I am waiting to see the outcome of the voice fiasco.

Tom glad to see I'm not only one;
Did try TT Restore but that's no go too; "Some volumes
eg a Storage card) are not present".
It is!

Did you just select all, DELETE or right click & use FORMAT?

Tks all; managed to copy across my Windows b/up.

Andy, thanks for that; should have looked closer; seeing the TT
icon hadn't looked beneath!
