From the main menu, press u then b. You now have three choices,
although the prompt indicates two. The choices are:
backup (b): this backs up the selected drive or folder(s).
restore: this is just the opposite; it puts the contents of a
backup onto the desired drive.
incremental backup: this makes a backup like the backup option,
except that it only replaces files modified since the last
baackup and puts new ones on, it does not overwrite everything.
This is nice if you have a backup you incrementally add to every
few weeks or so, as I do. You may get a prompt about a file
already existing, but press a for replace all and you should be
fine. You may have to press a again; the first time will replace
all hidden files and the second all protected files, or vice
versa (whichever the system comes across first).
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi, Alex,
How does one back up the flash disk? I have a PK, so it's a
Braille
keyboard.
Thanks.

When you are on a folder, that is, the display shows it or the
bn has just
spoken it, press right arrow. You may see "list of folders on
[selected
drive] disk" but it is actually displaying subfolders of the
current
folder. To go deeper into the structure, just hit right arrow
on the
folder you want, no matter how far below the main folders it is.
You
should probably back up your entire flash disk, but if all
you're worried
about is addresses and email than you can just back up the
keymail folder.
I am almost sure that keymail holds a copy of your address list
so that
will be backed up as well.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] mpower backups question
again this is from my friend... she has a QT keyboard mpower.
thanks
so much for your help... everyone has been awesome.
This is another thing I can't figure out.
When you create back ups in makes a folder and sub folders. But
I can't find how to view the sub folers. When I do a directory
command in file manager, all I see is the folder name and
nothing else. so it looks like the folder is empty even though I
know there's stuff there.
When I try to delete the folders it won't allow me to because
there's info still in there. But nothing shows.
How can I delete sub folders and files if they don't show up?
Here's another question... what should I be backing up? I
don't want to lose my address files or email folders. but I
don't know where or what I should actually back up.
Thanks
Kathryn
