Hi Rachael,
You know, I usually just back up the entire flash disk as well. But, I
did
want to try to back up a folder, just to see what would happen. And,
after
I did that, it took me awhile to find those files. But, what it did, at
least in my case, was to make the folder, but then put the files in a
folder
below that folder with one with the same name. So, I guess it really made
a
directory with my folder name, and then put the folder with the files in
it
in a subdirectory of that directory. For example, I copied my general
folder over to the SD card. So, to get to those files, I had to go to my
SD
card/general/general folder.

This is really true! This very day I tried to back up a whole folder using
the backup utility. While it did put a folder on the designated drive, no
files were in the folder. But from the file manager menu, I then selected
"copy file", used the multiple character wildcard, and all the files went
into the newly created folder. It would have been just as efficient to
creat
a new folder on the drive and copy the files, which is likely the more
appropriate way to get the job done.

Hi. You really can't backup folders with the backup utility. It is meant
to
back up an entire flash disk. You need to use file manager copy to backup
an
individual file or folder.

Subject: [Braillenote] backup problem
I have just tried to perform a back up for the first time since
installing
keysoft 7. It simply did not work. I went to utilities, pressed b for
backup, b to indicate that I wished to backup files not restore them,
then
typed in or selected a folder to backup. At that point my Braille Note
MPower froze and would do absolutely nothing until I pressed reset. It
did
not matter what folder I chose to backup or the method I used for
selecting
it. Hitting enter after selecting the folder was the last thing that
could
ever be done before the reset.
Obviously this is a serious problem that simply must not continue. I
could
just backup the individual files I remembered changing since my last
backup
this time by just copying them to the backup folder on my network, but
this
won't always do, and it is very tedious.
I really can't believe that the backup utility is broken in version 7,
but
I'd like to here that people have used it successfully since their
upgrade.
I'd also like to here some suggestions of what i might try to solve the
problem.
There is something else strange that I just remembered now, so I thought
I
would ask about it. When I got my BrailleNote back from being upgraded
to
an MPower I found that there was a phantom folder called "January 1, 2002
backup" on my flash disk. I see it as the default folder when I wish to
choose a folder to backup, and I occasionally see it at other times. If
I
really look in the list of folders on my flash disk it does not exist,
though, no matter what i use to look for it. I tried to choose directory
and have it show all including hidden, but it still doesn't exist. It is
kind of driving me crazy. :-) Of course it isn't actually hurting
anything,
but I really wonder why it is there and not there, too.
