Additional
information
This section describes how to solve common problems you may encounter when using
your CLIÉ handheld.
Preventing problems
Making a backup is recommended
We recommend that you make a backup of your data in case of any unexpected
trouble. Backing up your data will ensure that it can be restored again on the
CLIÉ handheld even when you have to perform a hard reset.
Making a backup using the Memory Stick Backup
application
You can make a backup on the “Memory Stick” media using the supplied
Memory Stick Backup application. This is the most convenient way to make a
backup.
b
“Memory Stick” media (optional) is required.
For details, refer to “Backing up your Sony CLIÉ™ handheld data” in the
“Handbook.”
Making a backup using the HotSync
®
operation
The data of your CLIÉ handheld is backed up on your computer every time you
perform a HotSync
®
operation. You will lose the data in your CLIÉ handheld
when you perform a hard reset. But, if you make a backup with the HotSync
®
operation, you can restore any data previously synchronized with your
computer during the next HotSync
®
operation.
Note
You cannot make a backup for some applications installed later or some data created with
application after installing. Specially you cannot make backup of applications or data
installed with beaming or “Memory Stick” media by synchronizing your computer to
your CLIÉ handheld. Use “Memory Stick Backup” to make backup.
