5-1 Backup
The Backup program lets you quickly and easily back up all data (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and
Mail data, files, installed programs, setup information) in your CASSIOPEIA main memory data
to a storage card.
Backed up data can be used to restore your system should it start to malfunction due to some data
error.
Read this first!
• Always reset your CASSIOPEIA before backing up or restoring data. Make sure you perform a
reset operation. See the separate Hardware Manual for information about how to reset your
CASSIOPEA.
• Be sure to power your CASSIOPEIA with the AC adapter whenever performing a backup or
restore operation.
• Do not perform any button or screen operations on the CASSIOPEIA while a backup or restore
operation is in progress. Do not touch the CASSIOPEIA at all until the backup or restore
operation is complete.
• Make sure the storage card you are using for backup has enough unused space to store the data.
• As a general rule, you need about 10MB of free space on a storage card to store backup data.
Time Required for Backup
The backup operation always takes a fixed amount of time, regardless of the amount of data you
are backing up.
