Backing up your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld data
You can make a backup of your CLIÉ handheld data by one of the following
methods:
• Back up data to your computer via the HotSync
®
operation.
• Back up data to “Memory Stick” media using Memory Stick Backup .
Backing up data to your computer via the HotSync
®
operation
By default, you can back up the following data to your computer via the
HotSync
®
operation:
• Memo Pad data files
• Address Book data files
• To Do List data files
• Date Book data files
• Mail data files *
• Preferences data files
• Application files that have been installed using the HotSync
®
operation
• User information files when the HotSync
®
operation is performed
When the HotSync
®
operation is performed, the backup data is compared with
the data on your computer, and the newer one becomes effective. If you
perform a hard reset, all data stored on your CLIÉ handheld are erased and the
initial status will be restored. In such a case, you can restore the backup data
from your computer that was created via the previous HotSync
®
operation.
*May not be available on all models.
Notes
• Some applications installed later or data created after installing applications cannot be
backed up via the HotSync
®
operation, such as applications or data transferred from
“Memory Stick” media or beamed. You need to back up with “Memory Stick” media
(page 143).
• If you customize settings in the Change HotSync Action window, you may not be
able to back up a file. You cannot back up an application or restore its data if an option
other than “Synchronize the files” is selected.
