how do I sync or transfere my files btw my Revo Plus and S7, besides draging the files from one machine onto the PC desktop and then copying into the other?
Is there a way for the two to share the same backup, archive or drive?
Thanks.

how do I sync or transfere my files btw my Revo Plus and S7 The easiest way to transfer files between two Psions is to beam them with Infrared.
To "sync" files between machines, have a look at EpocSync from www.freepoc.de which again transfers files by IR. EpocSync works by comparing the timestamp on the same file in both machines and overwrites the older file with the newer one. This does, of course, mean that you can only alter the file on one machine between "syncs".
Is there a way for the two to share the same backup, archive or drive? They cannot really share the same backup. You can restore the backup from Psion "A" to Psion "B" by using Machine Manager to delete Psion "B" then reconnect it as a machine not previously connected, set it as "Existing" rather than "New" machine and restore the backup. However, the backup now belongs to Psion "B" rather than "A". This may suit you as you can actually restore the same backup to both machines but they cannot 'share' the backup - they must be set as the "Existing" machine to use it.
...if that makes sense :)
