A dialog box appears with a list of items to back up. To select an item, click
the box next to it to add an X.
Note: When you back up your Newton device for the first time (no backup
file exists), this dialog box doesn’t appear. Instead, a full backup of the
Newton device begins as soon as you click Backup.
4 Click Select All.
If you see an Unselect All button instead of Select All, all information is
already selected.
5 Make sure “Include all packages” is selected so that your packages are also backed up.
This choice appears if packages are stored on your Newton device.
6 Click Backup.
A status window appears indicating a backup is in progress. Messages in the
window show what information is being backed up.
The window disappears and the backup is complete.
