Exporting Roland MC-909 Sounds to a external or flashdrive?

Hey Roland Clan! I have a Roland mc-909 groovy-baby box and was wondering if there was a way I can transfer the sound/wav files to a external device like a hard drive to make a back up? Ive been having issues with mines from adding sounds and exporting but now I want to start fresh and I want to physically make sure and see that and the files get transferred from the MC-909 to a hard drive, CD, or even a flash drive depending the size.

Here is the MC-909 editor/librarian download for Windows:

You can backup all your SysEx data this way. It's almost as good as doing what you're asking about.
If you really wanted a hardcore backup, you could get an XV5050 and duplicate all your 909 patches in its native editor, then you'd have all your 909 patches on your XV, since it's pretty much the same synth engine. Technically that would be a 909 backup to an external device.

If you're talking about backing up samples, just track the fuckers out digitally and call it a day.
