Maybe I'm blind or stupid and haven't found it yet, but how can I back up my PPC to my PC's hard drive? Is there a program that allows you to backup via the activesync link? I haven't been able to afford an SD card for my unit yet, so do I have any option for backing up all my programs etc?

Like I said, maybe I just haven't found it yet. I've tried searching for the answer, but didn't find it (maybe I didn't look hard enough). Anyway, any comments would be appreciated...

In ActiveSync, there's TOOLS > BACKUP. :-)

If you've got a little bit of money and want a program that does a better job of backing things up, I'd recommend Sprite Backup. I like that it has a scheduler that starts backup even if I forget. And, it does a great job of restoring.

Thanks for the responses! Tools > Backup. Duh.

My iPAQ has iPaq Backup, with I understand is a rebranded copy of Sprite Backup. I couldn't find anything in it that would let me backup to my HD - only SD or the file store

I think the Activesync solution is the one I was looking for.

Thanks you guys!
