Restoring incremental backups

If you have made incremental backups, you must restore each backup file individually, starting with the original (full) backup and progressing in sequence from the oldest to the most recent.

To select the backup file you want to restore, you must connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC as a guest. If you have already established a partnership, you must delete the partnership on the desktop PC. (In ActiveSync, on the File menu, click Delete Partnership.)

Restoring data with HP backup

Use the HP backup application to replace all data on your Pocket PC or only data in your Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks databases (PIM databases) with data from an existing backup file.

Depending on the type of backup file, the restore operation replaces all information stored in your PIM databases or all data stored on your Pocket PC. Any data added after the backup file was created will be lost.
