Service Summary

Data Backup Service

This service enables you to periodically back up the setting values (such as the address book and settings/registration) and information of installed MEAP applications that are saved on the hard disk or other storage device to a server on the Internet.
Use the MEAP application dedicated for Data Backup Service to backup data.
