Ericsson EPOC Connect 46
When you save the file within the PC program, Ericsson EPOC Connect saves
the edited file back to your MC 218. A dialog box appears which allows you
to select the file type for the edited file. Select the appropriate file type for
your MC 218, and then select Convert to copy the file back to your MC 218.
Ericsson EPOC Connect makes a backup copy of the original file which is
renamed with a ‘.bak’ suffix, e.g. a file named ‘Document’ is backed up as
‘Document.bak’.
Tip! Don’t delete the backup version of the file from your MC 218 until you
are sure you want to use the edited version instead. See the online help for
more information on how to open MC 218 files on your PC.

Performing your first backup
You can use Ericsson EPOC Connect to back up all the files stored on your
MC 218 to your PC. Keeping backups of your MC 218 files on your PC
means that you have a separate copy of all your work which can be restored to
your MC 218. For example, you can restore backed up files to your MC 218 if
you accidentally delete a file, wish to revert back to an older version of a file,
or need to restore files if you forget to change the batteries.
To make a backup:
1. Double-click on the My Ericsson icon on the desktop.
2. In the My Ericsson window, select the drive(s) on your MC 218 you wish
to back up.
3. On the File menu, select Back up to start backing up the files on your
MC 218. Ericsson EPOC Connect displays a progress window showing
how long the backup will take and will inform you when it has completed.
Tip! See the online help for more information on how to back up and restore
your MC 218 files.
