suggest you go to http://www.tomtom.com/support/support.php?ID=3&Language=1 and install the 5.201 update for tomtom go 300. Then you can do a full backup plus you will have the latest firmware as when shipped your unit will only have ver 5 firmware.

kna - I don't know what you backed up but the Map Folder itself should be about 100MB and the complete TTG backup should be just under 120MB.

The instruction to plug in the mains is a throwback to the Classic. Just ignore it and carry on.

I would do the 5.201 Full Backup as you can sure then that you have backed up everything.
