I fully agree. I now have a 24 MB Card which will always have a recent
backup of my 32 MB Card and Internal. I leave out WordNewt when backing up
with SBM for the 32MB and I use the Card Backup for my Internal. With both
sets of backup, I still have about 2 MB spare left in my 24 MB Backup Card.
The SBM Backup and the Internal backup are independent even though they're
on the same Card.
The IN/OUT Box do tend to eat up space quite fast. For example, if you have
5.5 MB space and you download lots of mail, your store may go down to 5.2
MB. Read all your mails then delete ALL mails and your store will probably
be back to 5.4 MB. I wonder where is that missing storage space. Probably
due to fragmentation. Anyone else experience this?
