Software Backup

Application programs and data that are normally RAM resident are backed up via ActiveSync.

Version Control

Version numbers are applied to the boot loader and the OS image independently. The version information stored consists of the
build number, plus the date and time of compile (in lieu of a build number). These version numbers are stored in non-volatile
storage, where the user cannot inadvertently modify them. A Settings panel and API are provided so the user can reference the
version numbers for support purposes.
The MX9 has a unique 128-bit ID code as required by the Windows Mobile specification. This ID number is generated by the
boot loader. This ID code is available in the About Info settings panel, and via a Win32 standard API.
In addition, an API is provided to return a standard copyright string, so that applications may reference the string for licensing
purposes.
