Backing Up MMC

You can back up everything in the phone's main memory to the MMC card via the Extras >Memory menu. Just choose the Options

Backup phone mem. menu and the data is backed up in a file, E:\Backup\Backup.arc, on the MMC card

When you decide to restore the phone memory from the backup file, just choose the Options Restore from card menu in the Extras>Memory menu. The phone will reboot itself after the memory contents are restored.

The Backup.arc file is written over every time you perform a backup. So, by default, you can recover to the phone state only at the last backup time. To work around this, you can copy the Backup.arc file off the memory card after each backup and archive it on your computer periodically. If you need to recover to an earlier date, you can copy the correct Backup.arc file back to the memory card and then perform the restore operation.
