For example, if you are synchronizing remotely over a phone line you probably do not want a full back up to occur prior to synchronization. On the other hand, since you cannot initiate a back up from your Pocket PC, the only way to remotely back up your device is if ActiveSync is configured to automatically do so. Select the Automatically back up each time the device connects check box and then click OK . The next time that you connect your Pocket PC, ActiveSync will immediately begin the back up. The second decision that you need to make concerning backups is the amount of data to be backed up.
Incremental backups make copies of only the information that has changed since the last backup.
