Did you look at the manual for the radio?

On a Pro-197 you don't have banks. You have scan lists. Pressing buttons 1 thru 0 on the keypad toggle scan lists 1 thru 10 on and off. Pressing the function button and then 1 thru 0 toggle scan lists 11 thru 20 on and off.

I have reprogrammed this scanner 8 times, to get the very same result, ALL LOST DATA !!!

is it actually losing the memory , or just forgetting that scan lists are enabled . Try just re-enabling the scan list from the keypad. Also you could add your programing to virtual scanner to make re-loading easy from just the keypad .
