HOW DO I DO A BACK-UP OF DATA ON MY AXIM5 TO A STORAGE CARD? MY NEXT QUESTION IS: IF I LOSE DATA ON MY AXIM5, HOW DO I DOWNLOAD BACKUP INFORMATION ON STORAGE CARD BACK INTO THE AXIM?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

You can backup using the built in backup program. When you select the backup program it will have a pull-down menu with the available places to backup too. And you will be able to change the backup name. I use the date. You can also restore the backup, and choose the one you want to use. You can also backup using Active-Sync.

I do exactly what you do Joel. I use the current date for the backup file name.

When I choose backup, the only place listed to backup to is "Built-in Storage". Is there a way to backup the contents to the PC?

You should also have the SD Card or CF card listed as places to backup to on the pull-down menu. Active-Sync will allow backup to the PC.

Another option would be to try Backup Plus. It will place a backup file on either your PC or on the CF/SD Card. It backs up everything and creates and executable file. Recently when I upgraded my ROM, I was able to execute the backup file on my SD card and everything was back onto my Axim.

I am not sure what the built in program is capable of but I can say Backup Plus has proven itself to me.
