Hi Carol and All, I'm not Jonathan of course, grin. And, I sure don't claim to know any of the technical details of what I'm saying here. But, in regards to the backing up and restoring of files, I have eluded to this before when trying to restore the PK. And, I'm not sure what the deal is with the restoring.
When I backup the PK, I choose all the defaults, meaning storage card seeing as I have the SanDisk combination wireless and CF card, and I choose to back up all files using the default folder name. Then, when I try to restore, of course I do select to restore from the storage card, select the folder for the day I want to restore from as that is how the backup files are named by default, and select to restore to the flashdisk. Then, I get the prompt about a file already existing, and I'm asked if I want to replace, so I hit the letter a to say yes to replace all. Then, I get several messages that say error copying access is denied, giving the name of the file that is denied and asking me if I want to continue restoring files, and I say yes. Examples of the files that I can't copy are: general\xbase.txt, keylist\address list.klt, keylist\braille letterhead template.kwb, keylist\connection configurations.klt, keymail\email folders.klt, keymail\directory of email accounts.klt. And, note that I'm not giving the full path to the files here, meaning \storage card\august 3, 2005 backup, but of course that is shown as part of each of the file names I'm asked about in trying it just now with my most current backup. I do understand why some files need to be protected, so we can be as assured as possible to restore a working unit, but it is still kind of strange to get those prompts when we are restoring from a previously working backup. Or, maybe I'm using the backup utility incorrectly, and should just be looking for specific subdirectories/folders/files to restore, rather than trying to restore everything? After all, the manual does talk about saving and restoring ones working files. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 3:18 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] synching two mPowers Jonathan, I haven't got to the backing up docs yet but does this really work OK when it comes to backing up the whole thing? I mean, are there any deeply hidden files (identifying one PM specifically) that would cause this not to work properly? Hope you get my gist! -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED]
