  • One-touch backup system
    Publication number: 20080140959
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for backing up or restoring the state of a mobile computing device in response to a single action performed by a user. A user may, for example, insert the mobile computing device into a cradle and press a “backup” button on the cradle or device, in response to which the state of the mobile computing device may be backed up to persistent storage media, such as a hard disk, in the cradle. Similarly, a user may insert the mobile computing device into the cradle and press a “restore” button on the cradle or device, in response to which the saved state of the mobile computing device may be restored. State that may be backed up to the cradle includes the contents of persistent media, RAM, and CMOS in the mobile storage device.
