Backing Up Data

---

The following procedure describes how to back up the database on the handheld device.

To back up the database

From the application-level menu, choose File >Backup.

NOTE:  If the Backup menu item is disabled, contact your system administrator to have backup enabled in your application.

A dialog box appears, telling you that backing up the data will restart the application and prompts you to confirm that you want to continue.

Tap Yes to start the backup.

A status dialog box appears indicating that the backup is in progress and may take a few minutes. The Handheld configuration files and data are copied to the backup location specified in the setup.ini file. Typically, the backup location is a CF or SD card. In some cases, the location is a directory in memory.

A dialog box appears telling you if the backup succeeded and asks if you want to return to the application.

Tap Yes to return to the application.

NOTE:  If the backup fails, consult your system administrator.
