Did your machine come with backup software apart from activesync? I don't
have an ipaq so don't know what you'll have (my machine came with 2 other
programs). I backup my machine to memory card and use that for restoring.
Without knowing your software and settings I can't tell you what it will
dave and restore- doesn't the program settings (or help file) tell you?
