Backing Up Data Of Your Sony Clié Handheld; Backing Up Data In Your Computer Using A Hotsync Operation - Sony CLIE PEG-S360 Operating Instructions Manual

Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
You can save a backup copy of your CLIÉ handheld with either of the
following two methods:
• Backing up data using a HotSync
• Backing up data using "Memory Stick

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
• 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 CLIÉ
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a backup of
your CLIÉ 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 111.
