    5. Choose your format options. These options include:
    • Version of file system (FAT-16,  for devices holding up to 4 GB; or FAT-32, for devices containing up to 
    32 GB).
    • Number of FATs (File-Allocation Tables).
    • Number of entries allow ed in the root directory.
    • Cluster size (.5 KB to 64 KB).
    There are also two check boxes, which govern:
    • Whether to use the transaction-s afe FAT file system (TFAT). This file system keeps multiple copies of 
    the file-allocation table, changing one while maintaining anoth er as a backup.

    without erasing the actual partition. Th e partition will be treated as empty, and new data will overwrite it.

    Total Recall
    Total Recall is a Zebra utility de veloped to maintain a pplications and settings during a cold boot, as well as 
    clone settings to other devices . This utility creates a restore point of a device at a known state. This can be 
    used as a backup of the device (t he administrator can clean the terminal and restore the profile at any time), 
    or a clone (the administ rator can store different configurations for different uses to clone to other 
    hand-held computers). 
    • In the  Control Panel , choose the Total Recall icon.
    In the start up screen, you ca n choose from four options: Create Backup, Create Clone , Manage Profile,  and 
    Delete Profile.
    Creating a Backup
    • Tap on the  Create Backup  button to begin the process.
    This dialog box displa ys the Profile Name an d the storage destination for the profile file.
    • In the  Profile Name  field, type a nam e for a profile. 
    NOTETotal Recall works diff erently (e.g. restore on cold boot or on  clean boot) on different OS plat-
    forms and versions (e.g. Windo ws CE 5.0, 6.0, Windows Mobile, W indows Embedded 
    Hand-held). For detailed information and other updates on Total  Recall information, please go to

    • If you want to choose another l ocation for your backup file (optional), tap on the [...] button to the right of 
    the  Profile Location  field and choose one of  a number of folders. 
    - Tap on  Start. A backup of the cu rrent settings will be cr eated and saved to the specified location. The 
    unit will then reboot.
    To view profiles and choose r estore options, refer to Managing Profiles on page 3-55 .
    Creating a Clone
    Cloning allows you to copy settings or configurations from one computer to another. There are two types of 
    clones to choose from: a  Full Clone and a Settings Only Clone . 
    A  Full Clone  contains all files, most of the  registry, and the settings files. 
    A  Settings Only Clone  can be copied to a wider array  of devices, but it should not be used as an 
    autorestore profile. 
    • Tap on the  Create Clone button to begin the process. Your Workabout Pro4 model type an d OS will be 
    identified in the cloning statement to ensure that you target d evices of the same type. Give the clone profile 
    a name and location, then tap on  Next.
    • In this menu, select All  for a Full Clone, or Selected Options  for a Settings Only Clone . If you choose 
    Selected Options , a menu will open to ena ble you to decide which options you want cloned.
    IMPORTANTAny profile not stored in persist ent memory (Application, Flash Disk, external USB 
    drive) will be erased  during a clean boot, therefore you should  store profiles on a per-
    sistent drive. 
    When performing an autorestore, th e program only searches for the profile located in 
    the \Application\ or \Flash Dis k\TotalRecall folder. If you store your profile anywhere 
    else it will not be restored. Only one profile can reside in th at folder. 
    IMPORTANTThe target device for a Full Clone MUST have the same model typ e and OS build as 
    the source, otherwise problems can occur. For example, if the t arget device has a 
    newer build of the OS, the new bu ild may have a different set of registry keys that 
    may conflict wit h the source.

    • Next, tap on the option button you want to use:
    •Restore Now  – restores the profile immediately. If you are restoring a pro file that is a backup or Full Clone, 
    the computer will clean reset fi rst; if the profile is a Settings Only Clone , it will not.
    • Set for AutoRestore  – creates a profile that is au tomatically restored following a  cold reset or a clean 
    start. The profile is stored in the  \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder.
    • Upload to A.R.C  – uploads the profile to the Active Remote Configuration server . After you tap on Send, 
    a message will come up either con firming that the upload was complete or that the connection to the 
    server failed.
    • Clone to USB  – writes a clone of the profile t o the USB drive. After you tap on the button, a message will 
    come up either confirming that t he USB drive is ready for deployment, or that it is not available.
    • When you are ready to install the profile on another unit, tur n on the next computer to be cloned and insert 
    the USB key. The profile will be  automatically installed to the \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. There is a short 
    delay in deploym ent so that you can canc el the process if needed.
    IMPORTANTAfter setting an autorestore pro file, that profile will overwrite any other pro file already 
    placed in the Applicat ion\ or \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. 
    In an autorestore, Total Recall  only restores the profile located in the Application\ or 
    \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. If you store your profile anywh ere else it will not be 
    restored.
