A window appears with a list of items to back up. To select an item, click the box
next to it until you see an X.
Note: When you back up your Newton PDA for the first time, this window doesn’t
appear. Instead, a full backup of the Newton PDA begins as soon as you click
Backup.

Select All selects all information. If a Clear All button appears instead of Select All,
all information is already selected.
5 If available, make sure Include All Packages is selected.
6 Click Backup.
A status window appears indicating a backup is in progress. Messages in the
window show what information is being backed up.
After a few minutes, the window disappears and the backup is complete.
Backing up selected information and packages
In general, it’s a good idea to back up all information on your Newton PDA.
However, if you’ve only added information to one or two applications, you can
specify which applications and application information should be backed up. For
example, you can just back up information in your Newton’s Dates application.
Typically, selective backup is faster than backing up all information and packages.
When you selectively back up information, the new information is added to your
most recent backup file.
WARNING If you selectively back up, be careful when you restore information.
You may remove information that has not been backed up. You should restore
information from a backup that includes all information and packages. See
“Restoring Information and Packages” later in this chapter.
