4.4 Managing and Backing Up Files

You can back up files to your PC using Windows Mobile Device Center or

ActiveSync or copy files to a storage card that is installed on your phone.

You can also efficiently manage your files and folders using File Explorer

installed on your phone.

Copy files using Windows Mobile Device Center/

ActiveSync to the PC

1.

Connect your phone to your PC.

2.

In Windows Mobile Device Center, click File Management > Browse

the contents of your device.

Or

In ActiveSync on your PC, click Explore. This opens the Mobile Device

folder for your phone.

3.

Browse your phone for files that you want to copy to your PC.

4.

Select and copy the files [Ctrl + C] and then paste them [Ctrl+V] to

the destination folder in the PC.

Copying a file results in separate versions of a file on your phone and PC.

Changes made to one file will not affect the other since the files are not

synchronized.
