4. Tap the System tab, and then tap HP backup.

databases.

storage location from the drop-down list.

The backup file (.dbe or .dbb) is always saved in the My Documents folder. If
you back up data to a CompactFlash card, a My Documents folder is
automatically created.
Restoring data
When you use the backup file to restore information to your HP Jornada,
information on the device is replaced with the information stored in the backup
file. If you have created files on your HP Jornada since the last backup and do
not want to delete these files during the restore process, move the files from
your HP Jornada to your desktop PC before restoring information. You can
restore data using ActiveSync or the HP backup application.
Restoring data with ActiveSync
Restoring data from ActiveSync replaces all information stored on your HP
Jornada. Any data added after the backup file was created will be lost.
To restore data with ActiveSync
1. Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC.
2. Use HP task switcher to close all running applications on your HP
Jornada. (In the Today screen, tap the HP task switcher icon, and
then tap Close Window and Close All on the pop-up menu.)
3. In the ActiveSync window on your desktop PC, on the Tools menu,
click Backup/Restore, and then click the Restore tab.
4. Click Restore Now. Do not use your device until the restore process
is complete.
5. Disconnect the sync cable or remove your HP Jornada from the
cradle, remove the CompactFlash card (if installed), and reset your
HP Jornada. See the Resetting your HP Jornada section in
chapter 9.
