							Backing up your CLIÉ™ handheld data and applications172
Backing up your CLIÉ™ handheld data and 
applications
You can create a backup of your CLIÉ handheld data by one of the following 
methods:
 Back up data to your computer through the HotSync
® operation
 Back up data to “Memory Stick” media using Memory Stick Backup
Backing up data and applications to your computer with the 
HotSync
® operation
By the default settings, you can back up the following data to your computer 
through the HotSync® operation:
 Memo Pad files/data
 Address Book files/data
 To Do List files/data
 Date Book files/data
 Preferences files/data
 Application files/data that have been installed using the HotSync
® operation
 User information files to perform the HotSync® operation
When the HotSync® operation is performed, the backup data is compared with 
the data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective. If you perform 
a hard reset, all data stored in your CLIÉ handheld is erased and the initial 
status will be restored. In this case, you can restore the backup data from your 
computer that was created through the previous HotSync
® operation.
Notes
 The following applications or data cannot be backed up with the HotSync® operation.
– Applications or data beamed or transferred from a “Memory Stick” media or CF 
memory card
– Certain applications or driver files added later, or certain data in an application
For details on applications that cannot be backed up, refer to the manual of each 
application.
When you want to make a complete backup, use Memory Stick Backup.
 If you customize settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not 
be able to create a back up file. You cannot back up an application or restore its data 
if an option other than “Synchronize the files” is selected. 
bFor details, refer to “Customizing HotSync® application settings (Conduit)” on 
page 103.
