Go up one level in this thread


Open Active Sync and go to options. Here you will see *what* you sync. Also take
a look at the rules, as wrong rules could replace files in the wrong way (say
"always replace with version on my PC" or so, when you want to have it the other
way around)

Backup once completely, and do a daily "incremental" backup. Takes less time.

Remember only to backup when your iPAQ works flawless. At one moment for some
reason I couldn't browse with IE trough the cradle and active sync, and couldn't
solve the problem with the restored backup, as it contained the failure as well
:( I had to reinstall all after a _cold_ reset.

Reinstalling programs goes quick. Just keep all the ARM-Cab-files in a directory
on your PC, copy them when crashing to the temp directory on your iPAQ, and
click the CABs one by one. A very speey installation, deleting the remaining
Cab-files. The finetuning is another thing indeed :((

Also remember to store vital data on the built in flash memory, and you can
access it whenever you have a breakdown.

I love my iPAQ, but the accompanying Windows versions are all too familiar crap.

Good luck.
