3.6 Backing Up Data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your Pocket PC frequently. Your
Pocket PC comes with two programs for backing up data:
Microsoft ActiveSync
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.
eBackup
A utility called eBackup is supplied with your Pocket PC to let you easily
back up data. (See section 5.8 for instructions.)
3.7 Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Pocket PC at the factory are stored in ROM (Read-Only
Memory). You cannot remove the programs and you will never accidentally
lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to your Pocket PC
after factory installations are stored in RAM.
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).
