Psion Teklogix netpad Win CE 4.1 User Manual

You can use Windows Explorer to manage files and folders stored on your netpad in 
the same way as you can on your PC’s drives.

6.4.4  Opening netpad Files From Your PC 

You can open a file on your netpad using a PC application without first having to 
copy it to your PC drive. You can edit the file on your PC and then save it back to 
your netpad when you have finished. To open a file from Windows Explorer, 
double-click on the file icon or press Enter.

When you save the file within the PC application, ActiveSync saves the edited file 
back to your netpad. 

6.5  Backing Up Your netpad With ActiveSync

6.5.1  Performing Your First Backup

You can use ActiveSync to back up all the files stored on your netpad to your PC. 
Keeping backups of your netpad files on your PC means that you have a separate 
copy of all your work that can be restored to your netpad. For example, you can 
restore backed up files to your netpad if you accidentally delete a file, wish to revert 
back to an older version of a file, or need to restore files if you forget to change
the batteries.

To make a backup:

1. Open ActiveSync on the PC by double-clicking on the green circle in 

the task tray.

2. Click on the Tools menu, then on Backup/Restore.

3. Click Back Up Now to start backing up the files on your netpad. 

ActiveSync displays a progress window showing how long the backup 
will take and will inform you when it has completed.
