Palm Backup Beta

Thu Apr 19, 2007 - 10:20 AM EDT - By Jay Gross

Conclusion

Palm’s Backup Beta offers a simple, automatic solution to keeping your personal information recoverable in case of disaster(s) by making an over-the-air, encrypted copy of the data to Palm’s servers. It doesn’t back up everything in the Treo, but stores enough of the Treo’s essentials to get you running again, in case of worst-case scenarios. What the service costs when it exits beta will determine whether it’s worth investing in, but for now it’s free.
