Backups are only good if you have a Newton to restore them to. Otherwise,
be sure to export your data into another format.
Years ago, I had a Sharp Wizard. It was stolen. I decided to get one of
those new fangled MP 130's to replace it, but there was nothing I could do
with my data, as it was just a sharp backup file. I had to get my hands on
another wizard to restore the backup, and then do an export to get the data
into a format that I could then import onto my Newton.
Moral of the story... Backups are only good if you can restore them. :-)
Exports can be universal.
