Introduction

Card Backup Tool lets you quickly and easily back up your CASSIOPEIA memory data

to a memory card. Backed up data can be used to restore your system should it start to

malfunction due to some data error.

Backed Up Data

Card Backup Tool backs up the following three types of data in CASSIOPEIA memory.

l Files Files are created using Notes, Pocket Excel, Pocket Word, and other applications

and add-on programs. Files transferred from your desktop computer to the

CASSIOPEIA are also backed up.

l The Registry The registry contains setup data for Windows CE and built-in applications.

l Database Data Database data is Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox data.

Password

Backed up data can be protected by a password. By assigning a password to backed

up data, you protect against unauthorized access because the data cannot be restored

unless the correct password is entered first.

Time Required for Backup

Depending on how much data you are backing up (or restoring), the backup operation

can take anywhere from about 10 seconds to a number of minutes. Backing up 4MB of

data, for example, takes three or four minutes. To check how much data is on your system, tap , Settings, System tab and then Memory. On the dialog that

appears, tap the Main tab. The value under Storage indicates how much data is stored

in memory. See the Pocket PC User's Guide and CASSIOPEIA online help for more

information.

Important! The restore operation can take a very long time if you do not have enough storage

memory allocated. When this happens, quit the restore operation, increase the size of

the storage memory, and then try the restore operation again.
