available, the backup area cannot be created.

than half.
The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. For this reason, backed up data
cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.
? When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be
overwritten. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously
in the backup area will be lost.
