Backing up data of your Sony CLIE Handheld
You can save a backup copy of your CLIE handheld with either of the
following two methods:
• Backing up data using a HotSync
®
operation
• Backing up data using “Memory Stick
®
” media
Backing up data in your computer using a HotSync operation
By default, you can backup the following data in your computer using a
HotSync operation:
• Memo Pad data files
• Address Book data files
• To Do List data files
• Date Book data files
• Expense data files
• Preferences data files
• 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 backup 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 CLIE
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a backup of
your CLIE 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. We recommend you to re-install the
application again.
• If you change settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not be
able to save a backup. You cannot back up or restore data for the application if you
select another option than “Synchronize the files.” For details, see “Customizing
HotSync application settings (Conduit)” on page 121.
