5 Select the items you want to restore.

6 Click Restore.

Information you selected is restored to your Newton PDA. A status window on your

computer keeps you informed of the progress.

When you restore, only information and packages on your Newton PDA that have

corresponding information and packages in the backup file are replaced. For

example, if your backup file contains Names and Dates and your Newton PDA

contains Names, Dates, and Notes, the Names and Dates on your Newton PDA are

replaced by Names and Dates from the backup file, but Notes remains intact.

When the restoration is complete, a message appears on your Newton screen asking

you to restart.

7 Tap Restart.

After about a minute, your Newton PDA restarts.

Note: If you have a personal identification number (PIN) assigned to your Newton

PDA, the number is not restored. You’ll need to reassign a PIN number. For more

information on assigning a PIN number, see the handbook that came with your

Newton PDA.

Tips on managing backups

The following tips can help you back up and restore files on your Newton PDA.

m If you’re using more than one computer, you can set up a central location for

backup files. That way, you’ll always know where the latest backup files are

located. See “Changing the Location of the BACKUPS Directory” earlier in this

chapter.

m You can copy backup files and rename them to prevent them from being replaced

by another backup. This is useful for managing or storing different sets of

information.

m If you use more than one Newton PDA, you can create backup directories with

different names for each Newton PDA. When you back up, you can set the backup

directory path in the Settings window to the directory for a specific Newton PDA.

In this way, you avoid storing similar backup files for different Newton PDAs in

the same directory.
