Which Backup Methos did you use? The Home Version, the Upgrade Version or the CD Version?
The Setup.exe Backup is found in Documents and Settings\ User Name\ My Documents\TomTom.
I still prefer to use the good old fashioned way of using Explorer to Copy/Paste the SD Card to a Destination of my choice. _________________ Richard

hi
this is all new to me. i just follwed the instructions from the installation cd. i have saved it in 'my documents'. my prob seems that as soon as i then choose the option on the cd to 'restore my tomtom', i immediatly get the message that no backup can be found on my computer. no search seems to be made either!!! the message comes up straight away???? |

It's possible that TT is looking in the Default location, and as you've saved it in My Documents, it can't find it. As I've said, I never do it that way, so unable to say on that point.
Either do a Full Backup with the Setup Program and let it go to the default. Or Copy/Paste the SD Card with Explorer. You're in control of what goes where then. _________________ Richard
