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 PDA:

1

Open the Newton Backup Utility and establish a connection.

See Chapter 1 for instructions.

2

On your computer, click the Backup button.

A dialog box appears with a list of information to back up.

3

Select the information to back up.

To select an item to back up, click the box next to it until you see an X. Only items
marked with an X will be backed up.

4

Click Backup.

A status window appears indicating a backup is in progress. Messages in the
window show what information is being backed up.

After a few minutes, the window disappears and the information you selected is
added to the latest backup file.

WARNING

If you selectively back up, 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.
