'Continue' in games help!

[bmn]

I'm currently developing a game wherein you can press 'New Game' to execute a new game and 'Continue' to continue the game if ever the user decides to finish it later.

Is there any easy way to do the 'Continue' feature?

I'm currently using the offline qml database storage to load information to the application. I would want to utilize this as well for my 'Continue' feature but as far as I know, resource files are read-only, therefore uneditable.

EDIT: My application will be deployed in phones with Symbian OS.
