First of all, your restoration will only be as good as your last HotSync (or backup to card) operation. If your last HotSync was months ago all information stored since then you will not be able to recover.

Synchronize your handheld (or backup to card) on a regular basis if you have information you don't want to lose on it!

If you are switching to a new computer from a non working one, all you should have to do is install the latest Palm Desktop software, and start a HotSync operation. You will be prompted to create that account on your computer, and then all your information will be copied from your handheld to your computer.

If you've lost your handheld, or for some reason its been hard reset back to factory, all you have to do is put it in its cradle and perform a HotSync operation. You will be asked which HotSync name to use (if you have more than one on that computer). All of the data (since your last HotSync operation) will be restored.

If you have a handheld with a expansion card, It is recommend you regularly do a back up of your handheld to it on a regular basis particularly if you can't get to a computer to do a HotSync operation.
