5.5 Backing Up Data

You can back up files to your PC using ActiveSync, or copy files to a storage
card you insert into your device. Your device has an expansion slot for
inserting a Mini SD card.
Using ActiveSync, you can copy or move information from the PC to your
device and vice versa. Copying a file results in separate versions of a file on
your device and PC. Because the files are not synchronized, changes made
to one file will not affect the other.
