Opening NETBOOK PRO Files From Your PC

6.4.4 Opening NETBOOK PRO Files From Your PC

You can open a file on your NETBOOK PRO using a PC application without first having to copy it to your PC drive. You can edit the file on your PC and then save it back to your NETBOOK PRO when you have finished. To open a file from Windows Explorer, navigate to the Mobile Device section of the file tree, locate the file, then double-click on the file icon or press Enter.

When you save the file from within the PC application, ActiveSync transfers the saved file back to your NETBOOK PRO.

6.5 Backing Up Your NETBOOK PRO With ActiveSync

6.5.1 Performing Your First Backup

You can use ActiveSync to back up all the files stored on your NETBOOK PRO to your PC. Keeping backups of your NETBOOK PRO files on your PC means that you have a separate copy of all your work that can be restored to your NETBOOK PRO. For example, you can restore backed up files to your NETBOOK PRO if you accidentally delete a file, wish to revert back to an older version of a file, or need to restore files if you forget to change the batteries.

To make a backup:

1.Open ActiveSync on the PC by double-clicking on the green circle in the taskbar.

2.Click on the Tools menu, then on Backup/Restore.

3.Click Back Up Now to start backing up the files on your NETBOOK PRO. ActiveSync displays a progress window showing how long the backup will take and will inform you when it has completed.

6.5.2 Performing Regular Backups

You can set ActiveSync to automatically backup when the device connects, so you do not need to back up your NETBOOK PRO manually.
