In addition, the Newton Backup Utility buttons appear on your Newton screen.

You can use the Newton Backup Utility buttons on your computer or on your
Newton PDA to back up and restore files, or install packages. For more information
about using the utility from your Newton PDA, see Chapter 4.

Creating your first backup

After you establish a connection, you can backup the information and packages on
your Newton PDA and store the backup on your computer.

1

On your computer, click the Backup button in the Newton Backup Utility window.

Note: If your Newton PDA uses an earlier version of the Newton operating system, a
backup is created automatically as soon as you establish a connection from your
Newton PDA. You don’t need to click Backup.

Because this is your first backup, the Newton Backup Utility creates a full backup of
all your Newton information and packages. If you have a storage card inserted in
your Newton PDA, information on the storage card is also backed up.

During the backup, a status window appears to show what information is being
backed up.

After a few minutes, the window disappears and the backup is complete.

2

Check the BACKUPS directory on your computer.

When you back up your Newton PDA, a directory named BACKUPS is created to
store the backup files. By default, this directory is located in the NBU directory.

For more information about backup files and directories, see Chapter 2.
