Section 22
252 HotSync® Operations
Customizing the HotSync Operation
For each application, you can define a set of options that
determines how records are handled during the HotSync
operation. These options are called a “conduit.” By default, a
HotSync operation synchronizes all files between your phone
and Palm Desktop software. In general, you should leave the
settings to synchronize all files. The only reason to change
these settings is to overwrite data on either your phone or
Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular
type of file.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List, Memo Pad, and Expense, Palm Desktop software includes
System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the
system information stored on your phone, including Graffiti
Shortcuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your
phone.
