Making a backup of the data or applications on
your CLIÉ handheld
Sony recommends that you make a backup of your data in case of unexpected
problems. Backing up your data will ensure that it can be restored again on your
CLIÉ handheld, even if you have to perform a hard reset.
Making a backup using Memory Stick Backup
Use “Memory Stick” media and Memory Stick Backup on your CLIÉ
handheld to back up data and applications on your CLIÉ handheld.
b “Memory Stick” media (sold separately) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your CLIÉ™ handheld data and applications:
Backing up data and applications to “Memory Stick” media using Memory Stick
Backup” in the “Handbook” (PDF format).
Making a backup using the HotSync
®
operation
Data or applications on your CLIÉ handheld are backed up to your computer
when the HotSync
® operation is performed. If you need to perform a hard reset,
this would erase all user data and applications stored on your CLIÉ handheld.
However, the erased data and applications can be restored with the next
HotSync
®
operation.
Notes
• Some add-on applications (not installed at the factory), and some application
data and settings may not be backed up using the HotSync
®
operation. However,
a complete backup of all data on your CLIÉ handheld can be made with
Memory Stick Backup .
Use Memory Stick Backup often to make complete backups.
• When you need to restore data, and so on, make sure that you perform the
HotSync ® operation immediately after you perform a hard reset. Otherwise, if
you create new data on your CLIÉ handheld between the hard reset and
performing the HotSync
®
operation, the data may be lost.
