Introduction
Card Backup Tool lets you quickly and easily back up your CASSIOPEIA memory data to a
memory card. Backed up data lets you easily 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.
••
••
• Files
Files are created using Voice Recorder, Note Taker, and other applications and add-on programs.
Files transferred from your desktop computer to the CASSIOPEIA are also backed up.
••
••
• The Registry
The registry contains setup data for Windows CE and built-in applications.
••
••
• Database Data
Database data is Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox data.
Time Required for Backup
Depending on the volume of data you are backing up (or restoring), the backup operation can take
anywhere from about 10 seconds to a number of minutes. To back up 4MB of data, for example
takes three or four minutes. To check how much data is on your system, tap [Start], [Settings], and
then [System]. On the dialog that appears, tap the [Memory] tab. The value under [Storage memory]
indicates how much data is stored in memory. See the Palm-size PC User's Guide and CASSIO-
PEIA 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.
Using Card Backup Tool
This section provides details about the backup and restore operations you can perform using Card
Backup Tool. Be sure to read the following precautions before using Card Backup Tool for either
backup or restore.
Read this first!
••
••
• Always reset your CASSIOPEIA before backing up or restoring data. Make sure you perform a
reset operation. Do not perform a full reset operation!
See the separate Hardware Manual for information about how to reset your CASSIOPEIA.
••
••
• Be sure to power your CASSIOPEIA with the AC adapter whenever performing a backup or
restore operation.
••
••
• If main battery or backup battery power is low when you start a backup or restore operation, a
warning message appears and the backup or restore operation is cancelled. Before starting a
backup or restore operation, charge the battery pack or load new batteries.
••
••
• Do not perform any button or screen operations on the CASSIOPEIA while a backup or restore
operation is in progress. Do not touch the CASSIOPEIA at all until the backup or restore operation
is complete.
••
••
• Files and other data are automatically compressed before it is stored in CASSIOPEIA memory.
Make sure the memory card you are using for backup has enough unused space to store the
data.
