We have been debating about including save/restore image capability. We
have created a web page that allows you to do a SD card backup to any
mounted drive (Including network drives). It tags the timestamp on the
image, so you can save as many as you wish. We will probably not
include an internal restore.....any imaging program can do the restore.
