What other Newton forums are available to answer my questions? I
desperately need to restore my Newton.

Sonny,
My problem is that my Newton has been cheerfully backing up for years
to an external card using the build in backup capability.
Unfortunately, my data is much larger than the built-in RAM, and the
newton restore software can only restore to built-in RAM so it fails
(presumably by running out of space). How do I restore to another
card or anywhere other than built-in RAM?
Thanks,
Donald

Hi Donald,
Unfortunately I'm not so well versed in this since I don't do this
much...
Generally I back up to a card and IF I were to need to do what you
are tyring to do I just restore to another Newton and back it up
again..to another card.. this is a solution but not what you are
looking for..
I would assume that SBM utilities can do it. But you may nee to read
the documentation...
I can't help since I done't have a copy to try out..

However when I try to restore from the backup using the built in card utility it errors out (because it can only restore to internal RAM). So I purchased SBM utilities. My problem is that when I run SBM Restore and select my external card based backup, nothing shows up in the set menu. Do you know how I can get the backed up data on my external card to restore to another external card?
