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.

HotSync Manager.
