Save your backups!!!

I had a SkyView Touch quit on me on the ramp today.

I am eternally grateful that I made a firmware update last year and kept that USB stick. During the firmware update, the system will save your configuration to the USB drive.

Now when I replace/repair the unit, I will have all of the sensor configurations I need. This saved me an inconceivable amount of time.

Your EFIS settings are invaluable! Back them up, then make backups of the backups. Upload them to the cloud somewhere.
 
Make it part of your inspection

I have adopted a policy to back up the units during condition inspection. Takes only a few seconds and will capture any change you might have made during the year that you forgot. It also allows more than one backup if you keep another spare USB stick in the desk at home. The file sizes are tiny so even a very small stick (you may have several) will do.
