Title: Safe Files On Cf Card
Post by: generalromanov on May 26, 2005, 08:24:55 am

How can I safe all my stored addresses (stored in the installed address book or on a KDE-PIM) to a CF card.

Please provide step by step explanation if possible.

Thanks.

This is how it is done on my SL-C1000 with the standard Sharp ROM:

Insert a CF card of sufficient size
Go to the Settings Tab
Select "Backup/Restore"
Select the Backup option (if it's not already selected)
Under "Media", select "CF Card"
Press Start

I'm pretty sure this standard backup saves your entire internal memory, so it would include any address book contacts from any program. I've used it on the default Sharp address book program and KA/Pi. It should be noted that after Restoring, any non-backed-up changes would be lost.
If you want to save the address files to a CF card for some other use, I'm not sure how to do that. It would probably depend on what you intended to use them for.

By the way, the present tense verb you are looking for is "save". "Safe" is an adjective.

In KDEPim:

You may also wish to have the program store your settings and data on the CF by default.

This could be achieved by using the 'Data storage path' setting within 'Actions->Configure->Data storage path'.

However setting this to use your CF permanently will require you to always have your CF inserted before using the apps.
