TWRP Manager will reboot and start to backup your GPD XD. Give it a few minutes and it will reboot on its own. Your backup will be in :external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/( long string of letters and numbers )/your_backup_here. I will end up showing you in the next part of the video.

Backup to PC - Where is my backup? :

• Connect your PC to your GPD XD using a USB cord.
• [Shown on video- time:4:27 ] - Naviagte into your device and choose the second SD Card ( MicroSD card )
• [Shown on video- time:4:30 ] - Open TWRP folder
• [Shown on video- time:4:34 ] - Open BACKUPS folder
• [Shown on video- time:4:36 ] - Open b349b13b44bec4d4 folder ( not sure it is named the same - TWRP generates name )
• [Shown on video- time:4:39 ] - Here you will find your folder. Grab it and transfer it to your PC. Use any compression application to zip it.

Reboot Function:

Shown on video at 6:19

    Unfortunately there is little development for the GPD XD and it seems that it will stay on Android 4.4.4. The power menu does not include reboot options. TWRP Manager includes a few reboot options to help you out. There are options for a regular reboot and also reboot into recovery. Just a small helpful tool as a bonus for using TWRP Manager.
