Why Did I Download/Buy This?
Soon after I purchased my Zire 71, we were going on an out-of-town weekend trip. I had loaded up the PDA with phone numbers, shopping lists, etc. to be accomplished on the trip. By the time we reached our destination, I found that something had sat on the power button of my Zire, and it was dead. All information had been lost. Without backup software, you only get the information that is backed up during a Hotsynch, so most application settings are not backed up.
How Do I Use This?
This software has saved me numerous times. I highly recommend it for everyone that wants to have a backup onto a local Palm appendage.
