Avoiding problems 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. Specially 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." 12
