Using Backup
Backup allows you to back up data files and applications from your Acer s10’s internal
memory to a Memory Stick and to restore such data back to your handheld. This
feature enables you to manage the contents of your Acer s10’s internal memory based
on your current space requirements.
NOTE: Before using the Backup utility, first insert a Memory Stick into your Acer s10’s
Memory Stick slot. Refer to “To insert a Memory Stick” on page 217 for more information.
Backup function
The Backup function has two operating modes based on the scope of files to be back
up:
•Complete Backup. Scope of backup files includes all data and program files,
including applications and databases stored in your Acer s10’s internal
memory.
•Partial Backup. Scope of backup files only includes PIM (Personal
Management Information) databases — referring only to your basic
applications.
Your Acer s10’s basic applications include Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List, Memo Pad, Expense and Mail.
NOTE: All application launch keys are disabled during the backup process.
When the Complete Backup or Partial Backup tab is tapped when no Memory Stick is
properly inserted in the slot, a warning message pops up.
Tap OK to revert to the Backup main screen, then check if a Memory Stick is properly
inserted in the slot.
NOTE: This warning message also applies when the Complete Restore or Partial Restore tab
is tapped.
