Default PSR-800 library update

There have been other times when it was as late as Sunday, and once the following week.

Its a nice feature but I still don't trust it I guess since my library kind of got messed up I think from it in the past, even though I didn't check the boxes tell it to make changes to my tags. I just check my home page on RR often for updates and make the changes myself. I found that even importing sometimes, what you get isn't the same as what is listed on the RR page for that system. Its often missing some things.

Occasionally, I make a backup of the existing library on disk before performing the update. That way, I can just go back if something significant in terms of issues occurs. I think we've really only seen a problem once or twice.....and it's been a while since that happened.

I always download to 2 different SD cards so there is always a second copy of what I have in the scanner at all times.

I usually keep the second SD in my wallet incase of a data corruption in the one in the scanner (has happened twice)

Never make the second download until I have tested the first.

But I probably only use the download feature to update my scanner once a month or so(unless I have to make some particular changes)
