Apple Newton Connection Utilities (for Macintosh) - Manual (Page 24)

Backing up selected information and packages
In general, it’s a good idea to back up all information on your Newton device.
However, if you’ve only added information to one or two applications, you
can specify which applications and information to back up. For example, you
can choose to back up just the information in your Newton Dates application.
Typically, selective backup is faster than backing up all information and
packages. When you selectively back up information, the new information is
added to your most recent backup file.
To back up selected information on your Newton device, follow these steps:
1 Open the Newton Connection Utilities and establish a connection.
See Chapter 1, “Getting Started,” for instructions.
2 On your computer, click the Backup button.
A dialog box appears with a list of information to back up.
WARNING If you back up selectively, be careful when you restore
information. You may remove information that has not been backed up.
Apple recommends you restore information only from a backup that
includes all information and packages. See “Restoring Information and
Packages” later in this chapter.
