RE: Trying to make a new back failed
There are two reasons it can fail.

1. You don't have enough RAM to compress everything and store it to flash. Reboot the calculator (ON-SYMB) and try again. if you have more then a few megabytes in the calculator, this is probably the reason. (it has to hold a copy of the entire content, plus the size of the zip, plus another large blob of memory while it makes the zip) If that doesn't do it and you think you have enough RAM to hold everything in your calculator...

2. Your flash may be corrupted or something (pretty unlikely, #1 is the most likely reason). Format it after making a backup.
