Apple Newton Backup Utility (for Macintosh) - Manual (Page 16)

By default, the Backups folder is located in Newton Backup Utility folder. You can
change the location of this folder. See “Changing the Location of the Backups
Folder” later in this chapter.
Backing up cards
When you back up a storage card, a separate backup file is created with the name of
the card. If you haven’t entered a name for your card, the file is called Card. If you
back up more than one unnamed card, the backup files are named Card, Card 2,
Card 3 and so on.
Note: Apple recommends you name all your storage cards. For more information on
naming storage cards, see the handbook that came with your Newton PDA.
Previous backups
Every time you back up, the Newton Backup Utility makes a copy of the previous
backup file and stores it in a folder called Previous Backups. This folder is located in
your Backups folder.
For example, if the owner’s name for your Newton PDA is Issac Chen, the Newton
Backup Utility creates a file named “Issac Chen’s Newton PDA” the first time you
back up. The next time you back up, the Newton Backup Utility copies the original
file and places it in a Previous Backups folder.
The Newton Backup Utility maintains a current and previous backup file for all
information in your Newton PDA’s internal memory and a current and previous
backup file for each storage card you back up.
