6.5 Backing up and restoring the address list
6.5.1 Backup Address List
If a cold reset occurs, or if your battery goes dead, all of the data in the
address manager will be lost. So, it is very important that you make a
backup file every time you make a change to the address list. To go to
“Backup Address List,” open the menu by pressing “Alt.” Then, use the
up and down arrows, and find “Backup Address List.” Then, press
“Enter.” You can also press “u” while you are in the menu to get to
“Backup Address List.” Or, you can press “Ctrl-u” to activate this function
without calling up the menu.
If you already have a backup file, you will see the message “Backup file
already exists. Continue to backup? Yes.” If you have made any changes
to your address list, press “Enter” to create a new backup file. If you
want to keep the previous backup file, press “Down arrow key,” locate
“No,” and press “Enter” on it. When you make a backup file in your
address list, you will always have a new backup file with the extension
DAT, and you will have another file with the extension BAK (which
originated from the previous “address.dat” file).
6.5.2 Restore Address List
If you want to restore the address list after a cold reset, press “Alt” to call
up the menu, and use the up and down arrow keys to find “Restore
Address List.” Then, press “Enter” on “Restore Address List.” Or, you can
press “r” while you are in the menu to find “Restore Address List.” You
can also press “Ctrl-r” to activate this function, without calling up the
menu.
If you activate the “Restore Address List” function, and you already have
an address list, you will see the message, “Address file already exists.
Which do you prefer? Append.” If you press “Enter,” the backup address
