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.
