Like this:

Repeat this process for each control module listed in the first screenshot for your car. My screenshot is from my test bench (my "virtual car"), so it only lists 5 x modules - but a real car will have many more modules.
It does take time to establish a complete back-up database, but it's a worthwhile exercise IMO for when (not, "if") the brown stuff and the fan meet - especially if you intend to use OBD11 Apps (which don't/haven't-normally recorded the before/after change values)
Another advantage of having a back-up database is that you can scrutinize the settings on your car before implementing a tweak - without the need to hook up the OBD11 dongle. Very useful if you want to see if the tweak is suitable!

Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.
