Backup and Restore Data

To avoid losing your data in the event that your iPAQ Pocket PC is lost, stolen, or becomes defective, Compaq recommends periodic backups to the computer or a CompactFlash card. Depending on your usage, you may want to perform a backup as often as once a day. You can back up and restore your iPAQ's data using the following utilities:

•ActiveSync Backup/Restore. Use this ActiveSync utility to periodically back up your iPAQ's data onto your computer’s hard drive. You can manually back up data or set this utility to back up automatically each time you connect to your Pocket PC. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

•Backup. This utility lets you back up and restore your entire Pocket PC memory con- tents as well as save your Contacts list to a CompactFlash storage card (purchased sep- arately). You can then carry a CompactFlash card–based copy of your data with you at all times for quick retrieval.

Saving Contacts

You can backup or save the contents of your contact list to a CompactFlash card by press- ing the QMenu button and tapping QUtilities. Tap the Backup tab and tap Save Contacts.

NOTE: Tapping Erase All deletes the contacts backup saved to flash memory. Data is not deleted

from the Contacts application.

Backing up Data to a CF Card

Each time you use the Backup utility, your data files, databases, preferences, ActiveSync system data, and applications are copied to the CompactFlash storage card. The subdirec- tories on your iPAQ H3000 are also duplicated on the storage card.

NOTE: Backup is designed for use with CompactFlash storage cards that are approved by Microsoft as Windows CE compatible. You should use a card at least as big as your iPAQ H3000's RAM (Random Access Memory) size, e.g., 16 or 24 MB. For information on ordering a CompactFlash storage card, see the Accessories Information included in the shipping box. For a list of other Compaq-tested CompactFlash cards, visit the Compaq iPAQ H3000 home page at www.compaq.com/products/handhelds.

To perform a backup:

1.Connect to external power or, tap , Settings, System, then Power to verify that the battery has a charge rating of 20% or greater.

2.Install the optional Compaq iPAQ CF Card Expansion Pack and CompactFlash storage card on your iPAQ, as described earlier this chapter.

3.Press the QMenu button, then tap Close all tasks, to close all active programs.
