8. Data Backup
To save your data and settings before the device is switched off to the
Partially Off or Complete Off status, carry out a SysBackup (see Ch. 8.2.1)!
8.1 Data Backups in General
The memory of the skeye.pad POS consists of two areas:
• up to 1 GB flash and
• up to 256 MB RAM.
In the RAM, Windows CE creates
• the RAM,
• the files,
• the databases and
• the registry
The RAM memory allows rapid access.
It is battery buffered, which means that the contents of the RAM memory are
deleted if the battery is deeply discharged.
The flash memory stores all the data contained in the "FlashStorage" folder and its
subdirectories.
The flash memory retains its data even if the battery is discharged.
For this reason, all important files and programs should be saved in the
"FlashStorage" folder.
You should therefore back up the data on your skeye.pad POS as often as possible!
We also recommend that you copy important data onto your desktop PC or other
storage media such as CDs.
