Backing Up Information
Use iPAQ Backup or Microsoft ActiveSync Backup to back up
and restore information on your Pocket PC.
NOTE: iPAQ Backup is already installed on the Pocket PC. You
must install ActiveSync on your computer before using
ActiveSync Backup.
To help reduce the chance of losing information, you should back
up information on a regular schedule.
Backup/Restore using iPAQ Backup
iPAQ Backup saves your data in a backup file. You may designate
a file name and a location for the file to be saved. iPAQ Backup
backs up to a memory card, main memory, or the iPAQ File Store
folder. Close all programs on your Pocket PC before backing
up or restoring your information.
Ä
CAUTION: Restoring your information replaces the current information
on your Pocket PC with the information saved in your backup.
If you perform a hard reset on your Pocket PC, any user installed
information stored in main memory including backup files will be
deleted. For this reason, it is suggested that backup files always be
saved to a memory card or to the iPAQ File Store folder.
To backup/restore using iPAQ Backup:
1. From the Start menu, tap Programs > iPAQ Backup.
2. Tap Options > Switch to Advanced Mode and select the
files and folders to be backed up or restored.
3. Tap the ... box next to File to select the name, location, and
folder name for backed-up data.
4. Tap OK.
5. Press the Backup or Restore button, and press the Start
button on the next screen.
