3.5 Backing Up Data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your Pocket PC frequently.
ActiveSync enables you to back up data to your desktop computer. You can
back up all data on your Pocket PC or only your PIM databases (Calendar,
Contacts and Tasks). You can set ActiveSync to back up automatically each
time you connect or you can back up manually, whenever you choose. For more
information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
3.6 Adding or Removing Programs
You can install any program created for your Pocket PC as long as your Pocket
PC has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your
Pocket PC is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://www.pocketpc.com).
