Insert this card and you are offered two options, backup and restore. I have used both options, and it has functioned flawlessly.

Great way to carry a, somtimes precious, backup with you.

Easy enough to use. The fact that this product comes with NO user manual whatsoever is a testament to that.

Although there ARE cheaper backup solutions to your Palm, the only one I can think of at the top of my head being using a normal expansion card and specific software like BackupMan or BackupBuddyVFS ($10 to $15 compared to this product for $40 - $50), this product still has >some< practicality.

Many people consider a backup card for Palm PDAs for the case that BOTH their PC AND Palm dies on them. Here are some things to consider:
-If you have only one expansion card and you lose it with your PDA, you just lost all info on your handheld and card. In the rare case that you lose info backed to your PC, you're out of luck
-hearing as how software only backup solutions work well, it may be worth your while to pursue a better deal if u can on this.

The backup works great. Getting to the backup software is not ther easiest.

If you have ever lost data, you can appreciate the need for this card. It is quick and easy to use. I would not own a handheld without this card.

This backup card has saved me on numerous occasions. I let my battery die one too many times, and the Easy one tap backup/restore function completely restored my data.

When my Palm 515 stopped sync'ing with everything (serial, USB, and infrared), I bought this as a last chance to save my data. Plug and Play! Worked beautifully. Pops up offering either Backup or Restore. Select backup and off it goes. Backed up everything including the apps. Now to get the Palm repaired. Oh to be without my Palm for weeks. Arrrgh....
