Making a backup using the HotSync
®
operation
Data and installed applications on your CLIÉ handheld are backed up to your
computer when the HotSync
®
operation is performed. If you need to perform
a hard reset, this would erase all user data and applications stored on your CLIÉ
handheld. However, the erased data and applications can be restored with the
next HotSync
®
operation.
Note
Some add-on applications (not installed at the factory), and some application data and
settings may not be backed up using the HotSync
®
operation. However, a complete
backup of all data on your CLIÉ handheld can be made with Memory Stick Backup.
Use Memory Stick Backup often to make complete backups.
b For details on the HotSync
®
operation, refer to “Exchanging and updating files/data
using the HotSync
®
operation (Other HotSync
®
operations)” in the “Handbook”
(PDF format).
