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 BackupUse “Memory Stick” media and Memory Stick Backup on your CLIÉ handheld to back up data and applications on your CLIÉ handheld.b“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® operationData or 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 complete backup of all data on your CLIÉ handheld can be made with Memory Stick Backup.Use Memory Stick Backup often to make complete backups.• 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.01US01COV.book  Page 48  Friday, December 5, 2003  12:45 PM
