About USB recovery

USB recovery allows you to recover lost data using a USB drive. It is necessary if the blue'Log no longer works properly or starts. USB recovery is only possible for blue'Log X-1000 / X-3000 / X-6000. If your blue'Log still does not work correctly after a USB recovery, contact Support.
