There are two types memory on the computer: Temporary memory RAM
(Random Access Memory) and permanent memory ROM (Read Only
Memory).
Most data of ongoing program are stored in RAM. It would stay intact when
power turns OFF. (Actually pressing power button OFF/ON is “suspend/
resume” only.
Part of the PDA is still running, power supply to memory is always ON.)
However, data or program in RAM will be lost when hardware reset. And if
primary battery been removed for too long time (for example, swap battery
for > 1 hours), there are risks to lose RAM data as back up battery may run
exhausted.
Long time storage will drain primary and backup battery to exhaust thus
unable to keep memory data.
To avoid data loss you may move data into ROM or memory card as follows:
Select Data Backup program on the desktop or tap start / programs /
data backup.
select the way you want to backup data / inbox / file / folders
then select Scheduled.... tab to automatically backup data and tick the
box enable Scheduled Backup
