Backup/Restore using iPAQ Backup
iPAQ Backup saves your data in a backup file. You may designate a file
name and a location for the file to be saved. iPAQ Backup backs up to a
memory card, main memory, or the iPAQ File Store folder. Close all
programs on your HP iPAQ before backing up or restoring
your information.
CAUTION: Restoring your information replaces the current information on
your HP iPAQ with the information saved in your backup.
If you perform a hard reset on your HP iPAQ, any user installed
information stored in main memory including backup files will be deleted.
For this reason, it is suggested that backup files always be saved to a
memory card or to the iPAQ File Store folder.

1.
From the Start menu, tap Programs > iPAQ Backup.
2. Tap Options > Switch to Advanced Mode and select the files
and folders to be backed up or restored.

name for backed-up data.
4. Tap OK.
5. Press the Backup or Restore button, and press the Start button
on the next screen.
