Backing up your CLIÉ™ handheld data and

You can create a backup of your CLIÉ handheld data by storing data to your

computer through the HotSync

operation.

Backing up data and applications to your computer with the

HotSync

operation

By the default settings, you can back up the following data to your computer

through the HotSync

operation:

•

When the HotSync

operation is performed, the backup data is compared with

the data in your computer, and the newer data becomes effective. If you perform

a hard reset, all data stored in your CLIÉ handheld is erased and the initial status

will be restored. If this happens, you can restore the backup data from your

computer that was created through the previous HotSync

operation.

Note also that, if you stored data and applications in the Internal Media of your

CLIÉ handheld, even if you perform a hard reset, the data and applications are

retained.

operation.

For details on applications that cannot be backed up, refer to the manual of each

application.

•

If you restore data by the HotSync

operation, perform a HotSync promptly after

performing a hard reset. If data is created on your CLIÉ handheld before performing

the HotSync

operation, the new data may be lost at the data restoration.

•

If you customize settings in the

Change HotSync Action

dialog box, you may not

be able to create a back up file. You cannot back up an application or restore its data

if an option other than “Synchronize the files” is selected.

For details, refer to “Customizing HotSync
