• Saved Preference: Saves the final operation status or settings for various
applications.
• Unsaved Preference: Saves the settings of various applications or user
information of your CLIE handheld. When this file is deleted, you may
not be able to synchronize correct information.
• NetworkDB: Saves network settings. When this file is deleted, network
connection is disabled.

• DatebookDB: Saves the database for Date Book.*
• MemoDB: Saves the database for Memo Pad.*
• ExpenseDB: Saves the database for Expense.*
• MailDB: Saves the database for Mail.*
• ToDoDB: Saves the database for To Do List.*
* These database files can be copied to “Memory Stick” media for
backup. If you copy them back to your CLIE handheld, the identical
files in your CLIE handheld will be overwritten with the information
at the time of backup. Note that any added or edited data in your
CLIE handheld after the backup will be erased.
