Hi Alice:
Depending on the version of Keysoft
you have, and the version you may
borrow, you can copy your address list
back to the Flash Drive, and the Keylist
folder. The reason you can't see your
address list on the compact flash card
is because it is a hidden file.
However, it can be copied back to
another unit, if the platform is the
same. You would go to the Main Menu,
press F, C. At the "copy from which
drive" prompt, you'd go to the compact
flash card. You would select the folder
you copied it to. At the "list of
files" prompt, you would press Space
with X, to locate the "hidden files."
Once you see your address dot Cdb, you
would enter. You would then be asked
"copy to which folder?" You would go to
the Flash Drive, and to the Keylist
folder. You would see that "one file
has been copied." If you were to get the
message, "that file already exists,
replace?" you would press Y.
Good luck with this.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] backing up
the address book
Hi, everybody, again,
this is getting very confusing. I
called Humanware and found out that I
had
to go through some directory route with
space t a couple of times, and there
was the file with the .cdb file. It is
there, but I can not read it or open
it from the cf card. I did not hear
anything about the definition file, and
I did not see it listed, either.
I was told the only way I can access
that information without having the
flash drive right there with the address
book on it was to copy the whole
file *by hand* onto my computer. An
enormous and tedious task to say the
least. I can perhaps get a loaner BN of
some description while mine is off
having the battery changed, but even so,
I can't read my address book, and I
need that info.
Any suggestions? If it's on the cf
card and the cf card is in a BN, why
can't I read the thing?
Alice

Hi,
Just tried this on a BN so might be
different, but, you may need to be
careful on what files you copy.
To access the address list you need the
.cdb file and it's definition
file.
So, copy or perhaps backup or may be
even both, both those files.
What happened to me was I copied both
definitions and .cdb to another
directory on the flash disk.
Having finished the test, I went to
delete them--just the copies.
During the delete, not having left the
copy directory, some how the
original .cdb disappeared.
Got it back from backup, but it was not
easy.
I have asked someone in HW who is
looking into it.
I'll perhaps post again when I have
more info.
Regards,
Steve.

Hi Alice:
If you only want to back up the address
book, I'd just copy it.
From the Main Menu, press F, then C.
Go to the Flash Drive, and to the
Keylist file. At the "list of files"
prompt, press Space with X so that
you see "hidden files". When you see
address.cdb, press Enter. You'll be
asked "copy to which folder"? Go to
your drive, and I would just put it
in the "none" folder.
As far as your list that you backed up,
I'd probably erase that
folder. If there is something in that
folder, they are "hidden" files.
Since it says "zero" I suspect it
didn't copy.
Good luck with the PK.

Subject: [Braillenote] backing up the
address book
Hi, everyone,
Thanks to Shaz, I got my PK up and
running again, but it
seems that my battery has to be
replaced. It won't hold a charge for
longer than one day.
So before I send in the PK, I've
finally gotten around to
trying to back up my address book, the
only thing I really keep on the
flash disk, Everything else is on a cf
card.
I went to utilities, chose backup,
it gave me the option of
putting it into a folder called May 5
08 back up or something like that. I
hit enter, it said something about x
files copied and seemed to be done
almost instantaneously.
Being the skeptical sort, I went to
that May 5 folder on the
cf card and tried to open the address
book to make sure it was really
there. I could not find it. The
folder was there, but it said it had
zero
items in it.
What did I do wrong? And where is
that backed up address
book?
Thanks for help.
Alice
