Backing up cards

When you back up a storage card, a separate backup file is created with the name of

the card. If you haven’t entered a name for your card, the file is called CARD. If you

back up more than one unnamed card, the backup files are named CARD.NBK,

CARD2.NBK, CARD3.NBK, and so on.

Note: You should name all your storage cards. For more information on naming

storage cards, see the handbook that came with your Newton PDA.

Previous backups

Every time you back up, the Newton Backup Utility makes a copy of the previous

backup file and stores it in a directory called PREVIOUS. This directory is located

in your BACKUPS directory.

For example, if your Newton PDA is named Newton, the Newton Backup Utility

creates a file named NEWTON.NBK the first time you back up. The next time you

back up, the Newton Backup Utility copies the original NEWTON.NBK file and

places it in the PREVIOUS directory.

The Newton Backup Utility maintains a current and previous backup file for all

information in your Newton PDA’s internal memory and a current and previous

backup file for each storage card you back up.
