Compared with the last backup content, the device is not backing up 'other files' although the box is checked hence the reduction in file size backed up. I don't recall deleting much since the last backup, but now I afraid I'm missing important files each time I run backup now.

I did try to run a backup with only the 'other files' box ticked, but got the message ' No data to backup.

I am getting worried! Please help...

Thanks

I ran into something like that too. I found that if "E-mail messages" was not checked neither would the "settings" box and this resulted in a much smaller back-up file. In other words, if you unchecked E-mail because you want to save space, "settings" will also become unchecked automagic like and you will loose that information as well.

BTW, "other files" has always been greyed out when I do a back-up/restore.
