CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer
Synchronizing information
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device or your
computer) is automatically updated in the other. There’s no need to enter information twice.
You can synchronize in one of two ways:
Full sync Press the sync button on the USB sync cable to synchronize all information in your
device’s program memory, as well as all sync items on the hard drive, with info on your computer.
Full sync also backs up any files or folders on your hard drive that are not sync items to your
computer.
Folder sync (Windows only) Use the sync commands in the LifeDrive Manager window to
synchronize a single sync item, a group of sync items, or all sync items on your device’s drive, with
the corresponding info on your computer. Sync items can be individual files or entire folders,
including subfolders. You cannot synchronize info in program memory using the LifeDrive
Manager window.
Be sure to synchronize your device with your computer frequently so that you
always have an up-to-date backup copy of the info on your device on your computer.
