Making a backup is recommended
We recommend that you make a backup of your data in case of any unexpected
trouble. Backing up your data will ensure that it will be saved in the CLIÉ
handheld even when you have to perform a hard reset.
Making a backup using the Memory Stick
Backup application
You can make a backup in the “Memory Stick” media using the supplied
Memory Stick Backup application. This is the most convenient way to make a
backup.
b “Memory Stick” media (optional) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your Sony CLIÉ™ Handheld: Backing up
data to a “Memory Stick” media using the Memory Stick Backup
application” in “Handbook.”
Making a backup using the HotSync
®
operation
The data of your CLIÉ handheld is backed up in your computer every time you
perform a HotSync
®
operation. You may lose the data in your CLIÉ handheld
when you perform a hard reset. But, if you make a backup with the HotSync
®
operation, you can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next HotSync
®
operation.
However you cannot make a backup for the following applications or data
using the HotSync
®
operation.
• Applications or data installed from a “Memory Stick” media or beamed.
• Some applications and driver files added later, or some data in applications.
For details on applications that cannot be backed up, refer to manuals for each
application.
When you want to make a complete backup, use the Memory Stick Backup
application.
b For details on HotSync, refer to “Exchanging and updating data using a
HotSync
®
operation (other HotSync
®
operations)” in “Handbook.”
