Hi Alex,
You've ask: "Will my files (except databases) work on this older machine?"
The answer is Yes!
Even your Databases!
To use your Databases, you just need to copy (don't backup) the Keybase and
Keylist folders in to two folders of the same name of your PC Card, SD or
CompactFlash Card.
Go to File manager menu, type C for Copy file.
At the "Source drive?", select your "Flash Disk".
At the "Source folder name?", select your "Keylist" folder.
At the "Source file name?", pres space with dots 1-3-4-6 [read with X] to
get to the "Entry type: all files" prompt, pres space with dots 3-5 [read
with 8] to select all files in that folder, you will hear: "Number items
selected" wear "Number" is the number of the files that you have in your
Keylist folder.
At the "Destination Drive?" select your drive.
Copy them in to a folder with the exact name on your card, just type in that
name and answer yes when ask if you would like to create a folder with that
name, and all the files will be copy.
Do the same with the Keybase folder.
Then, to access the databases, within the Keylist menu:
type S for Setup options, then S again for Select KeyList file, pres
backspace two times to select the drive where you just copy your Keylist
folder.
The Databases are even easier, at the prompt, "Database to use? type
backspace two times again to select the driver, then select your Keybase
folder.
Bingo!
Please feel free to write me off-list if you deem it necessary.
Regards: Hilda.

Subject: [Braillenote] Two backup questions
Hi all:
As the subject says, I have two questions about backing up.
1. Why am I prompted to replace files when I perform an incremental
backup? I thought the point was not to replace anything that had not been
modified, and to automatically replace things that HAD been modified. I am
backing my Flash Disk up onto a 6gb Seagate USB HD, to the same folder
each time.
2. I am backing up the Flash Disk of an mPower running KS7.2. I have to
send my beloved mPower to the hospital for various reasons and use a
classic with 6.11 in the mean time. Will my files (except databases) work
on this older machine? Also, can I modify my files on the classic (usinh
the backed up directory on a card) and have them work once I restore the
new ones to my mPower?
Thanks for any help. If none of this makes sense, let me know--this is
pretty important.
Have a great day,
Alex
