4.4 Managing and Backing Up Files
You can back up files to your PC using ActiveSync or copy files to a storage
card that is installed by you on your phone. You can also efficiently manage
your files and folders using File Explorer installed on your phone.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the
PC to the phone and vice versa. Changes you make to the information on
one computer will not affect the information on the other computer. If you
want to automatically update information on both your phone and PC,
synchronize the information instead. For more information about copying
and synchronizing files, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.
