Make a backup
We recommend that you make a backup of your data in case of any unexpected
trouble. Backing up your data will ensure that it will be saved on the CLIÉ
handheld even when you have to perform a hard reset.
Making a backup using the “Memory Stick
Backup” application
You can make a backup on the “Memory Stick” media using the supplied
Memory Stick Backup application. This is the most convenient way to make a
backup.
b “Memory Stick” media (optional) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld data:
Backing up data to a “Memory Stick” media using the Memory Stick
Backup application” in the “Handbook.”
Making a backup using the HotSync
®
operation
The data of your CLIÉ handheld is backed up on your computer every time you
perform a HotSync
®
operation. You may lose the data on your CLIÉ handheld
when you perform a hard reset, but if you make a backup with the HotSync
®
operation, you can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next HotSync
®
operation.
Note
You cannot make a backup for some applications installed later or some data created with
application after installing. Specifically you cannot make backup of applications or data
installed with beaming or “Memory Stick” media by synchronizing your computer to
your CLIÉ handheld. Use “Memory Stick Backup” to make backup.
b For details on HotSync, refer to “Exchanging and updating data using a
HotSync
®
operation (Other HotSync
®
operations)” in the “Handbook.”
