3.6 Backing Up Data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your Pocket PC frequently.
ActiveSync allows you to back up data to your desktop computer. You can back
up all data on your Pocket PC or only your PIM databases (Calendar, Contacts
and Tasks). You can set ActiveSync to back up automatically each time you
connect or you can back up manually, whenever you choose. For more
information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
3.7 Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Pocket PC at the factory are stored in ROM (Read-Only
Memory). You cannot remove the programs and you will never accidentally
lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to your Pocket PC
after factory installations are stored in RAM.
You can install any program created for your Pocket PC as long as your Pocket
PC has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your
Pocket PC is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://www.pocketpc.com).
