With so much more information being accumulated on our networks, computers, and devices, such as handhelds, the importance of backing up our data has become just as significant.

Not only is a solid process for backing up our data important, but also a sound restore process is also vital for maintaining the integrity of the information.

This white paper describes the backup and restore applications available with the iPAQ Pocket PCs h3800, h3900, h5400, and h1910Series. The tools used to perform the backups and restores differ slightly, but all serve the same purpose of safeguarding your data.
