I lost my pocket pc a couple of weeks ago and have just replaced it with another X30. This morning I plan to synch it and do a resoration (using the backup function in Active Synch) to get all of the data and software back onto the device. My question is:

Should I do a new synch or a restoration first?

The restoration would get all of the additional software onto the pc and have data (appts., new addresses, etc.) as of 2 weeks ago when I did my last backup. A synch would get all of the data from the past two weeks on. If I do the restoration first, will the synch pick up the stuff that's been entered over the past 2 weeks. If I do the synch first and then the restoration, will it "wipe out" the newer data?
thanks
