Safety and Security Benefits

When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and
saves the current ROM as a backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate
ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted for any reason. This feature
protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure while
flashing the ROM.
