5.5 Backing Up Data

You can back up files to your PC using ActiveSync, or copy files to a storage card you insert into your device. Your device has an expansion slot for inserting a Mini SD card.

Using ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the PC to your device and vice versa. Copying a file results in separate versions of a file on your device and PC. Because the files are not synchronized, changes made to one file will not affect the other.

Note If you want to automatically update information on both your device and PC, synchronize the information instead. For more information about copying and synchronizing files, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.

3.Tap and hold the file you want to copy, and tap Copy.
