You can use the iRescue program to backup and restore the contents of the MX5X files and
registry. There are four basic reasons to use iRescue:
•
To clone program settings and files from one device onto other devices.
•
To restore data if the battery is drained completely before a recharge.
•
To restore data following a cold reset.
•
To restore data if files or settings were unintentionally modified or deleted, causing a device
malfunction or data loss.
The backup data is saved onto the mobile device’s removable storage media, e.g. flash card.
Start iRescue
Select the iRescue icon in the taskbar. If you do not have this icon, select | Run. Then type
irescue and select OK. You can view version information by tapping the About button on the
Backup tab.
