It is important to back up your iQue M5 files and settings periodically. When you back up files with ActiveSync, you will store an 

“image” of what files, folders, and settings are like on your iQue M5. Then, if you lose data for some reason, you can restore your 

iQue to the last “image” you saved.
You can also back up files and settings on an SD card or in safe storage on your iQue M5. To do so, use Sprite Backup software as 

described in 

Chapter 9.

Backing up files from your iQue M5 to your computer

1.  Open 

ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2.  From the 

Tools menu, choose Backup/Restore.

3.  Choose whether you want to do a full backup (saves all information) or an incremental backup (saves any information that has changed 

since last backup).

4.  Choose where you want to save the back up file. If you want to back up your iQue M5 each time you synchronize, check the box next to 

“Automatically back up each time the device connects.”

5.  Click 

Back Up Now.

 

NOTE: Do not use your iQue M5 before you are finished backing up files. If you do, the back up process may fail. 

1.  Open 

ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2.  From the 

Tools menu, choose Backup/Restore. Click the Restore tab.

3.  Click 

Restore Now.

 

NOTE: Any information that has changed on your iQue M5 since your last backup will be erased by the restore process.
