2.3. Backing up PocketPC

This operation is very similar to the previous one:

1. In the "Start" menu, tap on the "Programs" entry.

2. Tap on the "File Explorer" icon to launch File Explorer.

3. Locate the BootBlaster icon (probably somewhere in "My Documents") and tap on it to launch it.

4. Tap on the "Flash" menu.

5. Tap on the "Save Wince .gz Format" entry. A popup window will open, asking you to confirm.

6. Tap on "Yes" to confirm.

7. A progress bar will display, and after 5 minutes (on my iPAQ 3850), a new popup window will appear, stating that the Wince segment and Assets were successfully saved, giving you the location of the "wince_image.gz" file (normally "\My Documents\wince_image.gz", and of the "asset_image.gz" file (normally "\My Documents\asset_image.gz". Tap on "ok"

8. Tap on the "X" button to close BootBlaster.

9. Tap on the "X" button to close File Explorer.

10. Transfer the wince_image.gz and asset_image.gz files onto the GNU/Linux host, by following the steps in Section 1.3 and Section 1.4.2.
