backup file with the extension DAT, and you will have another file with the
extension BAK created from the previous "address.dat" file).
6.5.2 Restore Address List
To restore the address list after a hard reset, press “Alt” to open the menu,
and use the up and down scroll buttons to find "Restore Address List". Then,
press "Enter" on "Restore Address List". Or, you can press "r" from the menu
to find "Restore Address List". You can also press "Ctrl-r" to activate this
function, directly.
If you activate the "Restore Address List" function, and you already have an
address list, you are prompted, "Address file already exists. Which do you
prefer? Append". If you press "Enter", the backup address list is appended to
the current address list. If you press “down arrow button” once and press
"Enter" on "Overwrite", the new backup file is restored, erasing the old
backup file. For example, let us assume that you have three records in your
address list and you have ten addresses in your backup file. If you select
"Append", you will have 13 records in your address list. In this case, three
addresses could possibly be redundant. If you select "Overwrite", you will
have 10 addresses backed up, and the three original addresses are deleted.
If you don't want to either "Append" or "Overwrite", press “down arrow
button”, to navigate to "Cancel", and press "Enter".
6.5.3 Setting Backup Options
You can back up your address list manually using the "Backup Address List"
function. You can also backup your address list automatically using the "Set
Backup Options". To activate the "Set Backup Options" function, press “Alt”
to open the menu. Then press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button”
repeatedly to locate "Set Backup Options". Then press "Enter". Or, you can
press "e" from the menu to go to "Set Backup Options". You can also
activate the function directly by pressing "Ctrl-e".
When you activate this function, a dialog opens. The dialog has three
controls: "Backup mode" radio button, a "Confirm" button, and a "Cancel"
