Product Info


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.
