Backing Up Information

Use iPAQ Backup or Microsoft ActiveSync Backup to back up and restore information on your iPAQ Pocket PC. To help reduce the chance of losing information you should back up information on a regular schedule.

iPAQ Backup is installed in ROM on the iPAQ Pocket PC h1940 Series and a trial version is contained on CD for the h1930 Series. You must install ActiveSync on your personal computer before using ActiveSync Backup.
