Synchronization

Synchronization enables you to back up the information on your Treo onto your computer or your server. If you ever need to perform a hard reset or otherwise erase all your information on your Treo, you can synchronize your Treo with your computer to restore the information.

To make sure you always have an up-to-date backup of your information, synchronize frequently.

You can synchronize email and other information directly with Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 upgraded to Service Pack 2, using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, or you can synchronize your Treo with your computer, using the desktop sync software (see “Setting Up Your Computer for Synchronization” on page 46).

A common cause of sync problems is the presence of protective software, such as VPNs or firewalls, on your computer or network.

If you have a Windows XP computer, the desktop sync software is called ActiveSync® desktop software. If you have a Windows Vista® computer, the desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center.
