    Unexpected Files Created on SD Card During 8.8.02 Update

    I recently updated my dual screen AF4500 system to 8.8.02. During the install a couple of files were created in my install SD card that were never created on previous updates:

    afs_backup.tar.gz
    afs_datalogs.tar.gz

    What are these files for?

    They are backup files of your data. If the install fails we can recover the data.

    Excellent! Thanks.

    I use the one update SD card for both screens. Do these files backup each screen, or just the last one updated?

    I think it handles two screens by naming one .bak. Note: the backup.tar.gz file is only intended for use by AFS as a last-resort recovery option.
