Hi Winona,
Humanware should not erase any of your data during the process of
having your Braille display repaired, though you won't
automatically have your Emails and other settings on your loaner
Apex. For example, just because you enter in your Email server
settings does not mean you will have all those old Emails you
already downloaded, the drafts you're working on, and so forth!
Your best bet is to backup your Apex before sending it in, and
it's super easy: insert a flash drive or an SD card, hit U from
the Main Menu for Utilities, hit B for the backup and restore
menu, hit another B to backup, and press ENTER twice to confirm
that you want to back up your BrailleNote's flash disk, and that
you're going to backup all folders. You'll be asked where you
want to store the backup; select the removable drive you just
inserted and accept the default folder offered. Your backup is
now underway.
When the backup completes, insert that same removable drive on
your loaner Apex. Head to Utilities and the backup and restore
option as before, but this time press R for restore. Select your
removable drive, and the folder on which the backup was stored,
when prompted. When asked, press ENTER to confirm that you want
to restore to the flash disk, and then press A for all if you're
asked to replace files. After a while the process will complete,
and you'll be all set.
When you get your own Apex back, do the same process, but in
reverse: back up the data from the loaner, and restore it to your
own machine.
Let us know if you need any more details on this, and wow, do I
envy you by the way! When I was in grade school I was never
offered spare units while mine was being repaired. :)
Cheers,
Grant

Subject: [Braillenote] apex question
Hi List,
My vision teacher is going to send in my Apex to get the braille
display fixed. She has a spare Apex that she's going to let me
use while my Apex is being repared. I have a question. When I
reccfigure all the setting (email, chat, internet, etc.), will I
have everything back like it was before I gave my vision teacher
my Apex? Like will all my emails that are in my inbox now be
there when I reconfigure the email settings? Will all my chat
contacts still be there when I reconfigure my chat settings? and
etc.
Thanks,
Winona
