Compaq 2100 manual Making a Full Backup

STEP 1: MAKING A FULL BACKUP

Before you make a memory upgrade, you must backup all data and files from your Aero 2100 onto a desktop computer or a CompactFlash card. To do a backup to a computer you must have first installed ActiveSync onto the computer. The backup file you make on the computer contains all files, Pocket Outlook data, and RAM-based programs. Once you have completed the following upgrade procedure, you can use this backup file to restore the data to your Compaq Aero 2100 Series's new memory module.

CAUTION: Once you have removed the old memory module from the device it will lose all its data, so you must perform a full backup before replacing memory.

Power on the device.

Connect the device to the computer using the cradle or auto-sync cable, and use ActiveSync to synchronize your desktop computer with your device.

Fully back up the data using the ActiveSync Backup/Restore utility.

NOTE: For more information on using ActiveSync to back up data, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.

Turn off the device and disconnect it from the computer by removing it from the cradle or removing the auto-sync cable.

NOTE: You can also back up your data to a CompactFlash card using the CF Backup/Restore Utility.
