All,
Two questions.
1. I lost my Axim and will sync existing info with a new device I bought (see below). But first I want to back up everything to a separate directory to be ready in case I screw up the restoration. Anything tricky about the necessary file copying for backup? Is there any important file(s) in hidden places like Local Settings or Application Data in Documents and Settings?


2. I finally decided I could have my phone and information in one device so I bought a Verizon Samsung SHC-i760. This is a WM6 device. I remember posts in which the method for replacing your WM5 device (an Axim x51v) with another WM PDA required synching to a guest account first. Then you somehow bring the old info into the new device with a second partnership named the way it always did. Searching didn't turn up the messages that dealt with this in the past.

This "first sync" for the Samsung will happen under WinXP TabletOS, where I use AS4.2 because that is what worked with my Axim... or do I have to install AS4.5 on this first-sync laptop for the Samsung to work?

Within a week, I will have finished preparing a new Vista Business laptop with a new clean install of Window, Office, OneNote, and my existing Office and OneNote files. Should I wait and synch first there? I want to get all that Axim info back into the new Samsung as soon as possible, but if the interim step of AS4.2 setup on WinXP will complicate its smooth use on Vista, I can stand to wait (I hope). I also hope synch really is smooth in Vista but I hear otherwise.

Thanks, in advance, for suggestions!
