Few more basic questions (Honest!)

Hi,

I've been fiddling with my new toy again this morning (Yes! It's an addiction )... Having changed some options, I think I've put everything back to how I had it yesterday but cannot be quite sure.

As I made lots of backups yesterday I was considering rolling out my latest backup.

Could anybody confirm that I am okay to select all and delete all files on the TomTom and then copy and paste the contents of my backup so they are as they were when I originally took the backup? Are there any problems with this I should be aware of? Anything that might go wrong (Eg, lose time, etc?).

Cheers.

Why bother? Is it busted? Well, then, don't bother. Just fiddle to your heart's content.

Assuming you used Windows Explorer for the backups, delete and copy/paste won't harm. You're now going to tell me you identified every single backup with some notes on the status of your device as backed up - I may come to hate you if you're that smart (are you a southerner?).

OR ALTERNATIVELY. What a plonker, you're as bad as me! The gurus say just change one setting, test and check all is well before you do any more changes. But that's a load of ****, innit? I mean, how do they expect you to make one change, then go testing before you can have a poke at something else? Nutters, they are!!

Heh, yeah I s'pose one change a time is better! But that's no fun

I've no problem with the device but would just rather (Yes, OCD alert!!) I had it exactly as it was.

I've kept a few backups each in a seperate folder with some basic details (Eg, 1TomTomNew, 2TomTomUpdates, 3TomTomMap810, 4TomTomPGPSWCam) etc and burned them all to DVD... I'm so happy with the device I wanted to make sure I keep it that way Heh.

I think in a bit I'll run back to the latest backup... Hey if it doesn't work better I find that now than when I really need the backup.

Cheers!

PS. No southerner Midlands.

Hah! Didn't I just KNOW you were a Softypants Southerner Smartypants?

All those fancypants backup IDs and OCD to go with it.

Listen! One change at a time is booooooooring. Half a dozen changes at once is really exciting, especially if you change the language to Finnish first and select the Afrikaans computer voice to go with it.
