Making backups of data and
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.

“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 and installed 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 backup of

data on your CLIÉ handheld can be made with Memory Stick Backup.
To make proper backups, using Memory Stick Backup periodically is
recommended.

• 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.

For details on the HotSync

operation, refer to “Exchanging and updating files/data

using the HotSync

operation (Other HotSync

operations)” in the “Handbook”

(PDF format).
