Hi Stacey, First, about the clock being set back an hour, if memory serves, Carl Simmons mentioned this as a known problem that HW is aware of. But, if you don't want to have to deal with it in the meantime, uncheck the box in ActiveSync that says to synchronize mobile device clock upon connecting. Using ActiveSync 4.5, I found this box by doing an alt t for tools, then o for options, and then just tabbing to the box. And, oh, yes, I couldn't find the box until I actually had my BN connected via ActiveSync.
As for the backup feature in ActiveSync, are you talking about the backup found by going to alt t for tools, and then hitting the letter b for backup/restore? If so, I'm just not sure what that would do on the BN. True, I did do a backup that way once, but I sure wasn't brave enough to try a restore from that backup. Let me explain what more I know about that backup, and then I'll tell you how to find the folder, should you really want it, and if this is actually what you are talking about. Although ActiveSync removed this backup feature when using Windows Mobile 5.0 devices, I was able to use the backup feature at one point when I had a PAC Mate running Windows Mobile 2003. However, ActiveSync didn't backup the flash disk, or whatever it is called on the PAC Mate; but, rather, it only backed up the main memory, which I'm thinking would be about the same as the system disk on the BN. And, although that was quite useful when I had installed programs to the main memory on the PM, I don't know how much use it would be on the BN, or what harm, if any, a restore from that type of backup would do to a BN. However, of course, using ActiveSync, you are able to explore your BN and copy and paste files to and from the BN and PC in the usual way, and thus save files to your PC that way. Now, to find that backup folder, should you really want it, here is what you can do. While in ActiveSync, hit alt t for tools, then b for backup/restore, then tab once. You should hear something like, backup to this file, and then a file name and path will be given. So, just hit the home key on your screen reader to go to the beginning of that line and start reading the file path/name, character by character if you like.
