7.10 Backing Up and Restoring Your Appointments
7.10.1 Backup Schedule
If you perform a hard reset, or your battery dies, all of the data in the
Schedule Manager is lost. Thus, it is very important to create a backup file
each time you change your schedule. To backup your schedule, open the
menu by pressing “Alt”. Then, use the up and down arrows (“up arrow
button” or “down arrow button”), to locate "Backup Schedule". Then, press
"Enter". You can also press "u" from the menu. Or, you can press "Ctrl-u" to
activate this function directly.
If you already have a backup file, you are prompted, "Backup file already
exists. Backup anyway? Yes". If you have made changes to your schedule,
press "Enter" to create a new backup file. To keep the previous backup file,
press “down arrow button”, locate "No", and press "Enter" on it. If you make
a backup file again in the Schedule Manager, a new backup file is created
with the extension DAT, and another file is created with the extension BAK
containing your previous backup file.
7.10.2 Restore Schedule
To restore your schedule after a hard reset, press “Alt” to open the menu,
and use the up and down scroll buttons to locate "Restore Schedule". Then,
press "Enter". Or, you can press "r". You can also press "Ctrl-r" to activate
this function directly.
If you activate the "Restore Schedule" function, and you already have an
existing schedule, you are prompted, "Schedule file already exists. Which do
you prefer? Append" or, press “down arrow button” to move to "Overwrite".
