I just bought a SD memory card for my T3.

I was wondering if there is any info around about working with these cards. ie: manging files and apps, running apps, backing up, basic operations and tips, etc...

Any help would be appreciated!

Basically, I apply the same principals to the Palm device as I would a PC, within it's limitations of course. Whatever backup app you use, make sure it's T3 compatible. The reason is that the PIMs are backed up differently. Examples are Backup Buddy, Backupman, Botzam Backup, etc. Never-never rely on the desktop PC as a backup!!! Not all files may get backed up or it's all too easily corrupted.

If you look at the thread below from ClieSource, there is a wealth of info for you, although some of it is only specific to the Clie. The basic principals remain the same though. On how folders and files are stored on a memory stick are nearly the same as the SD card.

Below is a sample of what the hierarchy would look like on the SD card. The first image shows two cards on the NX Clie, the second is the CF slot and you can ignore it.
