AT100 - How do you back up data prior to software update?

Hi guys,

I'm in Australia, just bought an AT100 (model PDA01A-005001) and am trying to get my head wrapped around the way it works.

This sounds like a noob question, but despite the manual telling me to back up the (AT100) tablet data to an external device multiple times... it doesn't say how? I've trawled the forum and no one has asked such a noob question which has me thinking that I'm missing something.

I'm new to Android - till now I've had Windows and apple based products.
I've turned on the option to backup to google, but that just seems to be for account data, not apps and app data... please correct me if I'm wrong.

Sooo, just to give a bit more background, I specifically hunted around to the PDA01A-005001 model because Toshiba states that it comes already updated to Android 3.1 - Imagine my surprise when I see that the system is actually 3.0.1?! So I shot an email to Toshiba customer support and was told to update via service station.

Okay then... so I look in SS and see that Android 3.2.1 is the available update, but before I start, SS gives a big warning about backing up my data... okey dokey, I'll just read the manual on how to do that... oh wait...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Rob

Hi

The AT100 support an SD card slot so you can move all files (pictures and similar) to the SD card.
Also there is an USB port which allows you to connect external hard drives. So you can move the files to the connected HDD.
You can use an preinstalled app like Toshiba file explorer to see your files or you could install another app from Android market.
