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 compatible with a range of mini
secure digital (miniSD) storage cards.
Using ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the PC to the device and
vice versa. Changes you make to the information on one computer will not affect the
information on the other computer. 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 desired file, and then tap Copy.
4. Tap the folder list (labeled My Documents by default), and then tap Storage Card.
5. Tap Menu > Edit > Paste.
