iPaq file store

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

My iPaq file store says in the Memory 3.70Mb Used, 2.89Mb Free
Now if I go to the Backup Utility it shows 5369.65Kb required to back up my
system.

When I open the iPaq File Store to do a new backup, it shows Space Available
2959.00Kb but how do I overwrite the existing backup, as it gives me the
error message "Not enough capacity on Target card".

Thank you my darling gurus you are always wonderful to me

If any of your guys would like to know how do your lippie or manicure and
paint your nails I can return the favor

It was so long ago I backed up to the iPaq file store I forgot you needed to
delete it in Explorer. I thought it just tipped over the top. A genuine
blond moment.
I do backup to a CF Card as well, but like to have the backup in the File
Store for field use . I have a 3950 with CF sleeve.
I don't have any more than 6.5Mb on the iPaq as I have a 512Mb SD card and
512Mb CF card to store all the geological and topographic maps on those. I
use another 3950 for all the data. Both iPaqs are solar powered. The solar
panels are mounted on my hat, the backpack carries the differential GPS
gear, aqua-pac and lunch.
Thanks for the reply

Sounds like you're doing something interesting. Would it be of interest to
our readers of Pocket PC magazine? If so, e-mail me.
