Backing Up Data

To prevent loss of data, you should back up your V35 frequently. Your V35 comes with two programs for backing up data:

Microsoft ActiveSync. ActiveSync enables you to back up data to your PC. You can back up all data on your V35, or only your PIM databases (Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks). You can set ActiveSync to back up automatically each time you connect, or you can back up manually, whenever you choose. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.

Backup. Backup enables you to back up all data stored in the internal (RAM) memory on your V35. You can save the backup file on an optional Secure Digital memory card.

Using Backup

Backup gives you added flexibility in backing up your valuable data. With Backup, you can back up all data in RAM. You can save the backup file to an optional SD memory card, so you can safeguard your data even while you are traveling or away from your PC.

NOTE: For U.S. and European models An internal storage device called “My Flash Disk” is included. When using Backup, you can choose this disk as your target backup device if the size of your data does not exceed 5 MB.

Backing up data using Backup

1Close all running applications and insert a memory card.

2Disconnect your V35 from your PC.

3On the Start menu on your V35, tap Programs and then tap the Backup icon.

4Tap Backup, then tap Next.

5Tap your preference of storage media for backing up your data, then tap Next.

6Tap the item you want to back up, then tap Next.

7Tap Backup, then tap Yes to start the backup process.

8Remove the memory card after the backup is complete.

CAUTION:

Never delete the backup file in the memory card. If the backup file is deleted, the backup data will be lost and cannot be restored.

When you use the backup file to restore information, information on your V35 is replaced with the information stored in the backup file. If you have created files on your V35 since the last backup and do not want to delete these files during the restore process, move the files from your V35 to your PC--or to an optional memory card-- before restoring the information.
