Hi Vicky; Can you write me directly and give me detailed steps that you use for doing back ups. Back in 5.1, I did a few back ups. I think Saville Allen had me do the incremental. When I got my M-power, I tried the old card in the new machine and can only find one back up file and both of the 2 books Rhonda and I downloaded are gone. I still am lost with the incremental back up, does it just replace the updated files? If so, does it create a new file or does it update the existing file. If it replaces the existing incremental back up, then I should only have the original back up and the most recent incremental back up. I need to start backing up my files. I also us the general folder on my M-power. This issue about a notes folder is really easy. I have a file for different subjects like, NFB, Terry, Staff and travel when I went to convention. This way if it was related to work I had a place, if it was about the NFB it had a place and it went under my name for other subjects. Do I need a special folder to store the back ups in. someone's directions said something about creating a folder for them. Thanks for any help. Terry Powers

Hi Donna and All, I use the backup feature of the BN all the time. In fact, every time I modify some files or change some settings, I try to back things up. Now, if it is settings and the like that I want to save, I perform a full backup. That usually takes three or four minutes, and it takes about that same time to restore a backup back onto the flash disk. However, if it is files that I want to backup, well, I mostly just copy them manually to the CF card I use for my PK or the SD card I use for my mPower. I mean, seeing as I know how to get to the individual folders within my backup folder; rather than do a full or incremental backup, I just put the files in the correct place in my backup folder myself, saying yes to the prompt to replace any files I want to update in this manner.

Hi again all, Well, I got curious after this morning's discussion, so decided to read about the Backup utility in the user manual. It looks like a nice little utility that would take care of data loss issues rather easily. What are people's experiences with this utility? Also, how long does a typical--if there is such a thing--full backup take? Best, Donna ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
