this dialog box doesn’t appear. Instead, a full backup of the Newton PDA begins as
soon as you click Backup.

Backing up selected information and packages
In general, it’s a good idea to back up all information on your Newton PDA.
However, if you’ve only added information to one or two applications, you can
specify which applications and application information should be backed up. For
example, you can just back up information in your Newton Dates application.
