Restoring Your handheld Data

The restore operation consist of transferring all the data previously saved on the PC to the handheld, effectively erasing all the new data held by the device by returning it to a previous state.

Warning

Use the restore functionality with care, as you can lose all the new data entered on the handheld since the last backup.

The data saved on the last backup is located on the $KDEHOME/share/apps/kpilot/DBBackup/User Name/ folder. The $KDEHOME environment variable (typically /home/Login Name/.trinity/) points to the folder that contains your configuration and data for the KDE applications.

The most common use for the restore functionality is to recover from a hardware or software failure on the device. The restore function can be accessed from the main KPilot application, and from the KPilot daemon. be careful, as restoring the data is not a common operation. In order to restore the data at the next sync, click the File->Restore menu item, then press the HotSync® button.
