backup and restore applications for the
iPAQ Pocket PC h3800, h3900, h5400, and
h1910 series

With so much more information being accumulated on our networks, computers, and
devices, such as handhelds, the importance of backing up our data has become just as
significant. Whether for legal purposes or in case of system failures, backups of our
computer devices serve the purpose of retaining our information for future use. Not only
is a solid process for backing up our data important, but also a sound restore process is
also vital for maintaining the integrity of the information.

This white paper describes the backup and restore applications available with the iPAQ
Pocket PCs h3800, h3900, h5400, and h1910Series. The tools used to perform the
backups and restores differ slightly, but all serve the same purpose of safeguarding your
data.
