Hi, sarah. I try to make sure I do a backup each time I charge my unit up.
I guess that that is all one can do.

The scarey thing, as my fiance could tell you, is that even the flash disk
is not immune to the occasional reformatting gremlin. He had to get his
unit repared three times, because of a complete spontaneous reformatting of
the onboard flash disk. Many of us on this list have been exposed to
computers, with their collective foybles, for many years, and we all know
that computers, in and among themselves, are never failsafe. My own
personal method for creating indestructable data, is to use a Perkins
Braille Writer or a slate and stylus. (LOL)

Hi Paul,
The question presented to the user is not whether they wish to reformat
the
entire Bn, but the separate compactflash card or storeage card in the case
of the pcmcia slot on the side of the unit. So you are correct, it is a
matter of whether you have a flash card inserted within the unit or not.
<smile> As for never losing any data... I wish I could make the same
claim,
but unfortunatley, I can only sit here and fume jealously at your luck.
