the second word of your device name

For example, if your device name is John

C:\Program Files\palmOne\
C:\Program Files\Handspring\

What is the backup folder?
The Backup folder is located inside your
user folder (see I can’t find my user folder).
During synchronization, HotSync
® Manager
puts a copy of most of your info and
applications in the Backup folder. (Some
third-party apps do not put a copy in the
Backup folder.) The next time you sync,
HotSync Manager compares the contents
of the Backup folder to the contents of your
Treo 680, and then restores any missing
info or applications.
If an app that you deleted reappears on
your Treo 680, try deleting the app from
your Backup folder.

1 Make sure that the USB sync cable is
securely connected to the USB port on
your computer and on the bottom of
your Treo 680 (see Synchronizing
information—the basics).
2 Make sure that HotSync manager is
running:
Windows: Right-click HotSync
manager
in the taskbar in the
lower-right corner of your computer
screen, and make sure that Local USB
is checked. If you don’t see the HotSync
manager icon, click Start, select
Programs, select Palm, and then select
HotSync Manager.
TIP If you’re having trouble trying to sync
using an IR or Bluetooth ® wireless technology
connection, try using the USB sync cable
instead. If this solves the problem, then check
your IR or Bluetooth settings (see
Synchronizing information—advanced).
