Backing up data of your Sony CLIÉ Handheld
You can save a back-up copy of your CLIÉ handheld by performing either of
the following three methods:
•Backing up data to your computer through HotSync
® operation
•Backing up all data to a Memory Stick
® media using the MS Backup
application
•Backing up data to a Memory Stick
® media using the MS Gate application
Backing up data to your computer through HotSync operation
By default, you can back-up the following data in your computer with a
HotSync operation:
•Memo Pad data files
•Address Book data files
•To Do List data files
•Date Book data files
•Expense data files
•Preferences data files
•Network Setup information
•Applications files that have been installed using a HotSync operation
•User information files when you perform a HotSync operation
During the next HotSync operation, the back-up data is compared with the
data in your computer, and the newer one becomes effective.
If you perform a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your CLIÉ
handheld are erased and reset to the initial status. If you save a back-up of
your CLIÉ handheld data, you can restore any data previously synchronized
with your computer during the next HotSync operation.
Notes
•Some applications are not designed to be backed up. Therefore, you may not be able
to restore some applications and data. It is recommended that you re-install those
applications.
•If you change settings in the Change HotSync Action dialog box, you may not be
able to save a back-up. You cannot back-up an application or restore its data if you
select an option other than “Synchronize the files.”  For details, see “Customizing
HotSync application settings (Conduit)” on page 118. 
						

							195Chapter6Additional information

							199Chapter6Additional information
Using data of another Sony CLIÉ Handheld
Continued on next page
If you already own a Sony CLIÉ Handheld, you can use data of your old
CLIÉ handheld with your new CLIÉ handheld. You can transfer data from
your old CLIÉ handheld to your new CLIÉ handheld with either of the
following methods:
•Using Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ to copy data: You can transfer data of
the Palm OS basic applications easily.
•Using Memory Stick
® media to copy data: You can transfer all the
necessary data and settings information more securely than using the
Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software.
Note on add-on applications that you have installed
Install add-on applications using the same procedures as the previous CLIÉ handheld.
Some third-party applications may operate only on your old CLIÉ handheld.
Using the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software to transfer data
For the Palm OS® basic applications data such as Address Book, Memo Pad,
To Do List, Date Book, you can use the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software to
transfer data from your old CLIÉ handheld to your new CLIÉ handheld by
exporting and importing data.
Before you start, perform a HotSync
® operation to the Palm Desktop for
CLIÉ software using your new CLIÉ handheld with a different user name
from that you have used with the old CLIÉ handheld.
1Start the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software.
2Click the user name of your previous CLIÉ handheld from the
User name list in the upper right of the screen.
3Click the icon of the application whose data you want to copy
in the left panel of the screen.
4Click Export from the File menu.
5Enter the file names and click Export.
The data of your old CLIÉ handheld is exported. Change the destination
folder if necessary. 
						

							200Chapter6Additional information
6Repeat steps 3 through 5 to export data of other
applications.
7Click the user name of your new CLIÉ handheld from the User
name list in the upper right of the screen.
If you have never performed a HotSync operation with your new CLIÉ
handheld, select Users from the Tools menu. Click New in the Users
screen and enter a new user name. Then select that new user name.
8Click Import from the File menu.
9Select the files you have exported in steps 3 through 6 and
then click Open.
10Place your new CLIÉ handheld on the cradle and perform a
HotSync operation.
The data exported from your old CLIÉ handheld is copied onto your new
CLIÉ handheld.
Notes on a HotSync operation
•Do not attempt to transfer data from your old CLIÉ handheld to your new CLIÉ
handheld by performing HotSync operations with the identical user name. Doing so
may cause trouble.
•When you perform a HotSync operation with your new CLIÉ handheld and the
New User dialog box is displayed, enter a different user name from that of your old
CLIÉ handheld. If you enter the identical user name, the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ
software may not be able to recognize the difference between your CLIÉ handhelds
and the data of both handhelds may be mixed up or deleted.
•If you copy UnsavedPreference, the user name is also copied. This prevents you
from managing the two CLIÉ handhelds with different user names.
