I've noticed while reading and performing a hotfix/servicepack that the instructions relate to backing up your SD+ using the backupdata.bat (in the first instance)

 

My query relates to two things, firstly in the same set of instructions it then refers to running updatemanager.bat which also offers the function to backup, is this different to the backupdate?

 

Secondly, If they are both doing the same thing, it seems sensible to include reference to this in the instructions and question whether there is a need to perform the first action when you can run a backup during the second process.

 

Seems a little overkill if you're performing the same action twice
