With so much more information being accumulated on our networks, computers, and

. .
devices, such as handhelds, the importance of backing up our data has become just as
. .
. .
significant. Whether for legal purposes or in case of system failures, backups of our

computer devices serve the purpose of retaining our information for future use. Not only
. .
. .
is a solid process for backing up our data important, but also a sound restore process is

. .
also vital for maintaining the integrity of the information.

This white paper describes the backup and restore applications available with the iPAQ
