What are the dangers of Backup Mode?
The most obvious danger is that your RAM drive will be erased. If you are plugged into a wall socket, your data is most likely safe. If you are on batteries, it’s not so certain. Most of the time your batteries will have sufficient power to supply the C: drive’s DRAM chips with enough electricity to maintain your data. This is because Backup Mode is usually entered long before your batteries are totally drained. (Contrary to a popular myth among 200LX users, Backup Mode does not force use of the backup battery. It will try all other power sources first.) However, if your batteries _are_ totally drained, or if your batteries have been removed, then the backup battery takes over.
