Backup and Restore Data
To avoid losing your data in the event that your iPAQ Pocket PC is lost, stolen, or becomes
defective, Compaq recommends periodic backups to the computer or a CompactFlash
card. Depending on your usage, you may want to perform a backup as often as once a day.
You can back up and restore your iPAQ's data using the following utilities:
• ActiveSync Backup/Restore . Use this ActiveSync utility to periodically back up your
iPAQ's data onto your computer’s hard drive. You can manually back up data or set
this utility to back up automatically each time you connect to your Pocket PC. For
more information, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.
• Backup . This utility lets you back up and restore your entire Pocket PC memory con-
tents as well as save your Contacts list to a CompactFlash storage card (purchased sep-
arately). You can then carry a CompactFlash card–based copy of your data with you at
all times for quick retrieval.
Saving Contacts
You can backup or save the contents of your contact list to a CompactFlash card by press-
ing the QMenu button and tapping
QUtilities . Tap the Backup tab and tap Save Contacts .
NOTE: Tapping Erase All deletes the contacts backup saved to flash memory. Data is not deleted
from the Contacts application.
Backing up Data to a CF Card
Each time you use the Backup utility, your data files, databases, preferences, ActiveSync
system data, and applications are copied to the CompactFlash storage card. The subdirec-
tories on your iPAQ H3000 are also duplicated on the storage card.
NOTE: Backup is designed for use with CompactFlash storage cards that are approved by
Microsoft as Windows CE compatible. You should use a card at least as big as your iPAQ
H3000's RAM (Random Access Memory) size, e.g., 16 or 24 MB. For information on
ordering a CompactFlash storage card, see the
Accessories Information included in the
shipping box. For a list of other Compaq-tested CompactFlash cards, visit the Compaq
iPAQ H3000 home page at
