Full Article

Just as on your desktop or laptop computer, losing the data can be devastating. The nice thing is that backing up and preserving your PDA data is pretty simple and takes only a few minutes. The following tutorial will guide you in backing up your files.

Connect your PDA.
Open ActiveSync (double-click the green ActiveSync icon located near the clock in your taskbar).
Go to Tools on the menu bar across the top of ActiveSync. Select Backup/Restore
You have then be presented a screen where you can choose the type of backup you want: full or incremental backup.
Even if this is your first backup, you can just leave it on incremental; it will still get all of your data. After your first backup, incremental will go pretty fast because it backs up only changes on your PDA.
Leave the backup path as ActiveSync recommends, so the Restore function will find it automatically. It is recommended that you should check the box that states, “Automatically back up each time the device connects.”
Push the Backup Now button.
The backup will take 5-10 minutes depending on your computer and you can keep using your computer while the backup works.
And that's it. After the initial backup, incremental backups usually only take 2 to 3 minutes.
