Backing up firmware

[whistler]

Hi,

Im new to this mpx player stuff so excuse my ignorance. As i gather from this website it is best when buying a mpx player to backup the firmware in case it dies. So what should i do to backup this firmware. Should i follow this guide? How to: Update the firmware for your MP3/MP4 player

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Use s1res v4.1 to extract the firmware. Note that this procedure is currently not working for the newest v11 devices, so it may be best to avoid them for now; a solution is being researched.

Thanks for your reply! I have bought the player mentioned in this post: Which low level format software? Full details. 4gb hacked to show 32gb. Any idea if this is a recent player? Thanks again!
