To prevent loss of data, you should back up your hp Jornada frequently. Your hp Jornada comes with two programs for backing up data:

•Microsoft ActiveSync. ActiveSync enables you to back all data on your hp Jornada to your desktop PC. You can set ActiveSync to back up automatically each time you connect, or you can back up manually, whenever you choose. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop PC.

•hp backup. The hp backup application enables you to back up all data on your hp Jornada, or only your PIM databases and/or e-mail messages. You can save the backup file in RAM or on an optional, removable CompactFlash memory card.

The hp backup application gives you added flexibility in backing up your valuable data. With hp backup, you can back up all data or back up only your Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox databases. You can save the backup file to internal memory or to an optional CompactFlash memory card, so you can safeguard your data even while you are traveling or away from your desktop PC.

Although you can back up data to internal memory (RAM) on your hp Jornada, if you restore your hp Jornada to the factory default settings or accidentally lose power, the backup file will be erased. To ensure the safety of your data, it is recommended that you back up to a CompactFlash memory card (using hp backup) or to your desktop PC (using ActiveSync).
