Apple Newton Connection Utilities (for Windows) - Manual (Page 21)

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
select specific applications and information to back up. For example, you can
choose to back up only 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 and your previous backup file
doesn’t change.
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.
WARNING If you selectively back up, be careful when you restore
information. You may lose information that has not been backed up.
Apple recommends you restore only from a backup that includes all
information and packages. See “Restoring Information and Packages”
later in this chapter.
