Backup/Restore
The Backup/Restore application enables you to
make backups of various data on your communi-
cator, and to restore it later. Data is backed up in
sets which are stored in separate directories on
the PC.
Before using this application, make sure that the
connectivity software has been installed on your
PC and is running (see ”Connecting to a PC” on
page 10-5).
When data is backed up the previous contents of
the backup directories will be deleted. If you
want to keep the previous backup set, you should
copy the files to another directory on the PC, or
change the backup directory in the Backup/Re-
store settings before making a new backup.
When data is restored, only files with similar names
in the destination folder will be overwritten.
The Backup/Restore main view shows the data
group which will be backed up or restored, the
connection type (infrared or cable) and the back-
up or restoration directory. Press Settings to
change the connection type or the path to the PC
directory.

The sets of data you can back up are:
All data — Backing up all data means backing
up your communicator exactly as it is at the
moment (except for contact logs).
Documents — Document backup covers all
documents in the application folders that can
be opened for viewing (except contact cards
and logs).
Contacts — The contact directory backup file
cannot be edited. If you want to edit the Con-
tacts database contents, use the Import/ Ex-
port contacts application (see the next
section).
Calendar — The data in your calendar can be
backed up and restored.
Press Backup or Restore to start the respective
operations. A backup directory will be created if
necessary.
While the Backup/Restore is in progress, the
communicator’s other applications cannot be
used. To interrupt the operation, for example, to
make an emergency call, press Cancel and con-
firm by pressing Interrupt.
