As Ed correctly pointed out, the easiest way to back up the internal
store is do a backup on a card, plug the card into the 2100 and do
a restore. However, this would require a card that can be read both
in the 130 and the 2100 and that has enough space left to hold the
130's backup. And of course it wouldn't back up the 130's card.
In my opinion it would be easier to
- start the Newton Connection Utilities (NCU)
- do a full backup (MP 130 card and internal memory) from the 130
to your desktop machine
- restore the backup (except the system info) to the 2100.
