Apple Newton Connection Utilities (for Windows) - Manual (Page 18)

Inside the Backups directory is a file with a name derived from the owner’s
name you entered on your Newton device. This file contains the latest backup
information. If you haven’t entered an owner name on your Newton device,
the file is called Newton.
By default, the Backups directory is located in the NCU directory. You can
change the location of this directory. See “Changing the Location of the
Backups Directory” 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 named your card, the file is called Card.nbk.
If you back up more than one unnamed card, the backup files are named
Card.nbk, Card2.nbk, Card3.nbk, and so on.
Note: To avoid potential confusion and loss of information, you should name
your storage cards. For more information on naming storage cards, see the
user’s manual that came with your Newton device.
Previous backups
Every time you back up, the Newton Connection Utilities make a copy of the
previous backup file and store it in a directory called Previous located in your
Backups directory.
For example, if the owner’s name for your Newton device is Mike Chen, the
Newton Connection Utilities create a file named Mike_Chen.nbk the first time
you back up. The next time you back up, the Newton Connection Utilities
copy the original file and place it in the Previous directory within the
Backups directory. Then the utilities create a new backup, again called
Mike_Chen.nbk.
The Newton Connection Utilities maintain a current and previous backup file
for all information in your Newton device’s internal memory and for each
storage card you back up.
