<div>Although if you save to the device and have a memory card installed, ptopo automatically backs up to the card (twice) so you have two physical chances that your data might be ok.

Worth checking the memory card anyway (including with a file recover utility) because PocketTopo saves temporary backup files to any memory cards in the PDA during use. I think these get cleaned up when you save the project, but a recovery utility may find the files still there.</div><div><br></div><div>Footleg</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 12:04 PM Andrew Atkinson <<a href="mailto:andrew@wotcc.org.uk">andrew@wotcc.org.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Yep, I could not find it, only how to mark data that had not been sent as sent</p>
