Making backups of data and
applications on your CLIÉ handheld
Sony recommends that you make a backup of your data in case of unexpected
problems. Backing up your data will ensure that it can be restored again on your
CLIÉ handheld, even if you have to perform a hard reset.

Making a backup using Memory Stick
Backup
Use “Memory Stick” media and Memory Stick Backup on your CLIÉ
handheld to back up data and applications on your CLIÉ handheld.
b “Memory Stick” media (sold separately) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your CLIÉ
™
handheld data and
applications: Backing up data and applications to “Memory Stick” media
using Memory Stick Backup” in the “Handbook” (PDF format).

Making a backup using the HotSync
®
operation
Data and installed applications on your CLIÉ handheld are backed up to your
computer when the HotSync
®
operation is performed. If you need to perform
a hard reset, this would erase all user data and applications stored on your CLIÉ
handheld. However, the erased data and applications can be restored with the
next HotSync
®
operation.
Notes
• Some add-on applications (not installed at the factory), and some application data and
settings may not be backed up using the HotSync ® operation. However, a backup of
data on your CLIÉ handheld can be made with Memory Stick Backup.
To make proper backups, using Memory Stick Backup periodically is
recommended.
• When you need to restore data, and so on, make sure that you perform the HotSync
®
operation immediately after you perform a hard reset. Otherwise, if you create new
data on your CLIÉ handheld between the hard reset and performing the HotSync
®
operation, the data may be lost.

For details on the HotSync
®
operation, refer to “Exchanging and updating files/data
using the HotSync
®
operation (Other HotSync
®
operations)” in the “Handbook”
(PDF format).
