Backing up selected information and packages

In general, it’s a good idea to back up all information on your Newton device.

However, if you’ve only added information to one or two applications, you can

select specific applications and information to back up. For example, you can

choose to back up only the information in your Newton 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 and your previous backup file

doesn’t change.

To back up selected information on your Newton device, follow these steps:

1 Open the Newton Connection Utilities and establish a connection.

See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for instructions.

WARNING

If you selectively back up, be careful when you restore

information. You may lose information that has not been backed up.

Apple recommends you restore only from a backup that includes all

information and packages. See “Restoring Information and Packages”

later in this chapter.
