Data management method and apparatus of portable terminal

摘要

A data management method and apparatus of a portable terminal improves memory utilization efficiency using a data move/copy function which allows moving or copying the user data preserved in the non-volatile memory region of the memory of a portable terminal. A data management method for a portable terminal includes selecting at least one user data item in response to a selection request. An extended region for backup of the user data item is checked in response to a backup request. Transfer data corresponding to the user data item is created. The transfer data is stored in the extended region as a backup of the user data item.
