backup file A duplicate copy of your HP Jornada files and data that is stored on your desktop PC or on a PC Card. This file does not include your

HP Jornada settings and information stored in ROM, such as factory- installed software. Use your backup file to restore your HP Jornada to its previous state if your device data is damaged or destroyed or if you have performed a full reset.

Your computer can quickly display Web pages you have recently visited, because Pocket Internet Explorer can open them from cache instead of having to load them again from the Web. Increasing the space designated for your cache folder increases how quickly recently visited files are displayed, but decreases the amount of space available for other files on your HP Jornada. You can choose to empty your cache upon exiting Pocket Internet Explorer. This saves space on your device.
