***

Re-flashing the OpenHD Image will overwrite all previous Settings. However, you can backup your QOpenHD settings to a file and load this backup file after a re-flash.\
NOTE: This only includes your QOpenHD specific settings, like color and position of OSD elements. It does not include OpenHD settings, like camera resolution, framerate, bandwidth, channel.\
\
1\) Create the backup file:\
Go to QOpenHD -> Dev -> Save settings to file\
This will create a file called "QOpenHD.conf" inside your RPI SD Card\
\
2\) Save the backup file locally, e.g on a USB drive:\
2.1) Power down your ground unit, remove the SD card, and insert it into your PC card reader\
2.2) Using windows / linux file explorer, save the file locally to your USB drive. It can be found in the "openhd" folder in the root of your SD card.\
\
3\) Use a backup file after a image re-flash:\
3.1) Insert ground unit SD card into your PC\
3.2) Copy your local backup (e.g. from your USB drive) to the "openhd" folder on your SD card\
3.3) Insert your SD card into your ground station (e.g. RPI)\
3.3) Go to QOpenHD -> DEV -> Load Settings from file. QOpenHD will prompt you to restart after a successfull load.\\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://openhd.gitbook.io/open-hd/ground-station-software/qopenhd/qopenhd-osd-backup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
