Preliminary
Backing up data
You can use the P800 Backup and Restore PC software to back up
the contents stored in your P800 to your computer. Keeping
backups of your P800 contents on your computer means that
you have a separate copy of the contents of the P800, which can
be restored into the P800. Backups should be made on a regular
basis. A backup reminder can be set.
