Mobility Site - View Single Post - why buy a backup util

09-02-04, 08:26 AM

I have never tried a restore with the Dell utility. What kind of problems can you have with it? Does it really fail to restore?? I only ever do complete backups. My main use for my PDA is GPS and would hate to get somewhere - have to hard reset (for whatever reason) - and then not be able to use the GPS software.

My biggest fear is someday I will let the battery run flat and then I wont be able to restore via ActiveSync again. I had this problem with my previous Medion PDA. I didnt use it for a week or two so the batteries went flat. When I charged it up again ActiveSync would not recognise it! It kept trying to create a new partnership!! Never did figure out what that was all about. This was about the time the Axim X30 was available so I just took the Medion back to Aldi, got a full refund and bought the X30!
