Psion Teklogix 32M/64M manual Synchronizing your netBook, Scheduling regular backups

Scheduling regular backups

You can set PsiWin to make automatic backups at regular intervals so you do not need to remember to back up your netBook. It is a good idea to schedule automatic backups because it means you will always have up to date copies of your netBook’s files. To do this:

1.Right-click on My Psion and select Properties.

2.Move to the Backup tab.

3.Click on Perform automatic backup and select how often you wish to backup your netBook.

Further help: See the on-line Help for more information on how to schedule regular automatic backups.

Synchronizing your netBook

What is synchronization?

You can use synchronization to manage information which you wish to keep up to date on both your PC and netBook, such as agenda appointments or an address book. When you synchronize, PsiWin checks the information in your PC scheduler with the matching Agenda or Data file on your netBook, and then updates the files on both your PC and netBook to include the new information. Some examples of synchronization are:

∙if you add a new appointment in your netBook Agenda, the date, time and notes for the entry will be copied to your PC scheduler.

∙if you change a phone number in your PC scheduler, it will be amended in your netBook’s address book.

∙if you enter overlapping appointments in your PC and netBook agendas, PsiWin will warn you of the conflict.

Many people will just use one synchronization task to keep their netBook information in step with their PC information. Synchronization tasks can be used in a number of other ways, for example:

∙You and other colleagues could synchronize their work Agendas with the same master scheduler on a networked PC.

∙You may have a work Agenda synchronizing with a network installation of Organizer at the office, and a personal Agenda synchronizing with Schedule+ on your PC at home.
