Creating backup files

Any additional programs or new data in your device are stored in the Random Access Memory (RAM). These items are lost if you have to perform a hard reset or your device loses all power for any other reason. Because of this, it is important that you regularly back up files to your computer via ActiveSync or to a storage card using the device’s built-in SD/MMC expansion slot.

If you have access to your computer, use ActiveSync to synchronize files between your device and your computer. See “Synchronizing information with your computer” on page 30 for more information.

In instances where you are unable to access your computer, you can back up files to a storage card.

To back up individual files in a storage card:

1Insert a storage card into the SD/MMC expansion slot on the top of your device. See “Using the SD/MMC expansion slot” on page 12 for more information.

2Tap > Programs > File Explorer .

3Select the file you want to back up.
