You can save a back-up copy of your CLIÉ handheld by performing either of
the following three methods:
Backing up data to your computer through HotSync
®

Backing up all data to a Memory Stick
®
media using the MS Backup
application
Backing up data to a Memory Stick

By default, you can back-up the following data in your computer with a
HotSync operation:
Memo Pad data files
Address Book data files
To Do List data files
Date Book data files
Preferences data files
Network Setup information
Applications files that have been installed using a HotSync operation
User information files when you perform a HotSync operation
During the next HotSync operation, the back-up data is compared with the
data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective.
If you perform a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a back-up of
your CLIÉ handheld data, you can restore any data previously synchronized
with your computer during the next HotSync operation.
Notes
Some applications are not designed to be backed up. Therefore, you may not be able
to restore some applications and data. It is recommended that you re-install those
applications.
If you change settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not be
able to save a back-up. You cannot back-up an application or restore its data if you
select an option other than Synchronize the files. For details, see Customizing
HotSync application settings (Conduit) on page 108.
