Select the items you want to restore.

Click Restore.
Information you selected is restored to your Newton PDA. A status window on your
computer keeps you informed of the progress.
When you restore, only information and packages on your Newton PDA that have
corresponding information and packages in the backup file are replaced. For
example, if your backup file contains Names and Dates and your Newton PDA
contains Names, Dates, and Notes, the Names and Dates on your Newton PDA are
replaced by Names and Dates from the backup file, but Notes remains intact.
When the restoration is complete, a message appears on your Newton screen asking
you to restart.
7
Tap Restart.
After about a minute, your Newton PDA restarts.
Note: If you have a personal identification number (PIN) assigned to your Newton
PDA, the number is not restored. You’ll need to reassign a PIN number. For more
information on assigning a PIN number, see the handbook that came with your
Newton PDA.
Tips on managing backups
The following tips can help you back up and restore files on your Newton PDA.
m
If you’re using more than one computer, you can set up a central location for
backup files. That way, you’ll always know where the latest backup files are
located. See “Changing the Location of the BACKUPS Directory” earlier in this
chapter.
m
You can copy backup files and rename them to prevent them from being replaced
by another backup. This is useful for managing or storing different sets of
information.
m
If you use more than one Newton PDA, you can create backup directories with
different names for each Newton PDA. When you back up, you can set the backup
directory path in the Settings window to the directory for a specific Newton PDA.
In this way, you avoid storing similar backup files for different Newton PDAs in
the same directory.
