With the Polar
Precision Performance SW 4 or later you can make the backup copies
automatically or manually. The backup feature packs the exercise data to a zip
file(s). Each year is zipped to it's own file. The files are located
to the person's Backup folder under the person folder. Person
folders are named based on person's name. You find the person
folders under the Polar Precision Performance folder. By default the
Backup folder is located with the path: C:\Program Files\Polar\Polar
Precision Performance\Person's name\Backup.

data
