This section describes how to solve common problems you may have when using your
CLIÉ handheld.
Making a backup of the data or 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 the HotSync
®
operation
Data or applications on your CLIÉ handheld is 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 or applications stored on your CLIÉ handheld.
However, the erased data or applications can be restored with the next
HotSync
®
operation.
(All user data or applications stored on Internal Media will be retained.)
Notes
• Some add-on applications (and data thereof) installed on your CLIÉ handheld
may not be backed up. Especially, add-on applications installed via infra-red
beaming or via “Memory Stick” media cannot be backed up using the HotSync
®
operation.
• 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.
