Make a backup

One of the most important things you can do with TomTom HOME is make a backup of all the contents of your TomTom device. If you ever have a problem with your TomTom device, you can restore the backup. It's a good idea to make a backup regularly.

You can make one backup per device and store it on your computer. When you make a new backup, the old backup for that device is overwritten.

Note: The Backup and Restore function is not available for TomTom NAVIGATOR.
