Hi -

I've read the recent 'Back-up - How?' strings, but got some remaining questions:

I've used back-up and restore to my PC, but the first time I needed it after my Axim crashed (while downloading a new driver) I got the message that the format was incompatible (probably due to my upgrade to Pocket PC 2003). So here's my question:

After a new 'regular' 3.7 activesync and program re-install it's fairly quick and easy to get my stuff back, but it's a nightmare to:
- re-do my 'Home' settings
- re-do my user profile
- re-activate my Microsoft reader, Avantgo and some other apps
- Etc.

If I start using back-up/Restore, with the PC as my backup devide, will it REALLY store all data and all settings. Anything special I need to do to make this work??

thanks!
