Hi Frank
So if you keep a 'complete' copy of the iPAQ configuration on a PC, you can do a full restore if required??

Hi Signman,

That's correct. Though you can also do the same from a backup that is kept on a removable card in the iPaq itself.

If a program is installed onto a memory card then it is not necessary to restore those files, however the installation often requires entries to be made into the registry. When you install a program using Activesync you have an oppurtunity to say where it should install.

At a minimum, just make sure that there is a backup held on a removable card. Then you can always restore it easily using the iPaq Backup program; even when you don't have access to a backup on your PC.

By the way, when the battery goes flat it should not result in losing data from volatile memory. There is an internal battery that should keep the memory for quite a while. The internal battery takes over only when the machine is switched off, so if you ever remove the battery without first turning off the power button, you can lose the contents of the volatile memory. If you turn the PDA off, you can then remove the battery without loss.

Did you run the iPAQ Backup program? Did it find a backup file?

Cheers Frank.
