Using Microsoft ActiveSync Backup
The Microsoft ActiveSync Backup feature creates a complete
duplicate of all data stored on your HP Jornada. If you routinely
connect to your desktop PC, this is the best method of data
backup. The backup file is saved on the hard disk of your desktop
PC.
Backing up data with ActiveSync on your desktop PC
If you have established a partnership between your HP Jornada
and desktop PC, you can set ActiveSync to back up data
automatically each time you connect. You can also back up your
HP Jornada manually any time you want. ActiveSync lets you
decide whether to back up all information each time, or only new
and updated information.
To back up data with ActiveSync
1. Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC.
2. In the ActiveSync window on your desktop PC, on the
Tools menu, tap Backup/Restore, and then tap the
Backup tab.
3. Select either Full Backup (to back up all information
every time) or Incremental Backup (to backup only
new or updated information).
4. Click Change to change the name of your backup file or
to specify a location for your backup file.
5. Tap Back Up Now.
Restoring data with ActiveSync from your desktop PC
When you restore data from a backup file created by ActiveSync,

backup file, including files you have created, programs you have
