Use PilotManager for full backups (RE: CLue to duplicate appts.)

Correct

If you want a full backup use Pilot Manager. My wife uses the 3com PC
desktop and we did our rolling upgrade (I got a 5 she got my old 3) my
was a breeze took about 3 mins. Hers was a nightmare because the 3 com
product assumes you have kept the original copies of the apps you have
doenloaded and you have to re-install them. It only saves the apps data
as far as I could make out not the app. i.e. the .prn/.pdb files not 
the .prc  files (I think don't quote me it was something like this).

You can guess what I had done with the free downloads.....
