78 Managing Your Pocket PC Phone
5.4 Backing Up Files
You can back up files to your PC using ActiveSync, or copy files to a
storage card you insert into your device. Your device has an expansion
slot for inserting a Mini SD card.
Using ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the PC
to your device and vice versa. Copying a file results in separate
versions of a file on your device and PC. Because the files are not
synchronized, changes made to one file will not affect the other.
Note If you want to automatically update information on both your device and
PC, synchronize the information instead. For more information about
copying and synchronizing files, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.
To copy files to a storage card
1. Push the storage card into the storage card slot until it clicks into
place. The card is secure when it does not protrude from the
base.
2. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer and navigate to the
appropriate folder.
3. Tap and hold the file you want to copy, and tap Copy.
4. Tap the folder list (labeled My Documents by default) and tap
Storage Card.
5. Tap Menu > Edit > Paste.
To copy a file between your device and the PC
1. Connect your device to the PC.
2. In ActiveSync, click Explore, which opens the Mobile Device
folder of your device.

In the Mobile Device folder, go to the file that you want to
copy.
Right-click the file, then click Copy.
Locate the destination folder on your PC. Right-click the
folder, then click Paste.
