Back up your data (patches and samples) because they will no longer be available after the SOM board upgrade.
Waldorf Music cannot back up your data, so you are responsible for backing up your personal patches and samples yourself.
Since the samples on the Quantum MK2 are stored on the 59GB flash memory (and not on the SOM), backing up the samples is not strictly necessary. However, it certainly can’t hurt.
Since the patches are stored on the SOM board, they must also be backed up on the Quantum MK2.
