Pocket PC Backup!
It wouldn't be enough just to cover PC backups and laptop backups: more and more people are enjoying the benefits of having computing power in their pocket or the palm of the hand, so we cover Pocket PC backups as well.
We discovered MiniCompact Technologies had this superb piece of software called "ZipZap".
It is an archive software designed for your Pocket PC and is a simple utility that will create and extract archives on your handheld device.
ZipZap enables you to create zip archives from scratch, edit (add and remove entries from a zip archive) and extract an archive to any folder on your device. You can select whether to have the
ZipZap software archive a single file or a folder. It will save the folder structure inside the archive, so when extracted the folder structure will remain the same.
ZipZap used the ZIP compression algorithm so you can use the archive created on your desktop or laptop PC as well as on your Pocket PC.
While talking about Pocket PCs, this is isn't about backing them up, but a link to enjoy over 20,000 top author fiction and non-fiction ebooks, which you can download to any PC or handheld device, from

Encryption for Windows PDAs & Smartphones
Secubox encrypts all sensitive information, keeping it secure and protected, even in such catastrophic cases when your PDA or smartphone is lost or stolen. It protects information with one of the strongest and most efficient encryption algorithms available today - NIST-approved AES 256-bit. The software creates a 'virtual storage' on the PDA. Data moved to and from the virtual storage is encrypted or decrypted on-the-fly using the 256-bit AES algorithm. Decryption and encryption is totally transparent and requires no action from you, once the software is installed. It transforms your smartphone or PDA into a highly secure device, requiring mininum effort and user interaction. If you store customer data, patient records, personel files on your PDA or smartphone or carry mp3s, videos, personal photos or any other private data - then using encryption software becomes a must-have if you don't want this data to be compromised.
With SecuBox for Pocket PC you get peace of mind when travelling with your PDA.
Secubox offers advanced security algorithms as well as exceptional ease of use and does not slow down your performance in any way. It seamlessly integrates into your daily life requiring no change in the way you work with your Pocket PC or smartphone.
Mobile phone backup
While talking about archiving and storage on your Pocket PC, it is worth mentioning mobile phone backups particularly as they are free for a wide range of new, popular phones.
1.3 million phones are stolen in a year in Britain and 1.6 million are lost. 600,000 fall in the toilet,
400,000 fall into drinks, and 200,000 end up in washing machines! And others get broken in some other way. Is your phone address book backed up? How would you cope if you lost your phone and your phone address book now? Why not get a free mobile phone backup now? That would at least help you get your data back, but why not look at low cost mobile phone insurance too? Especially as the phone insurance is available from just 8p a day when it can easily cost £1000 to replace a PDA!
FREE Backup
You're on a roll here! No sooner have we mentioned "free backup" of your mobile phone than we are offering you free backup of up to 2Gb of data on your desktop or PC! Just think how many files you can protect in that 2Gb capacity! Work, studies, music, digital photos - the choice is yours - but you'll have the comfort of mind to know that your computer has at least that much backed up.
We also suggest that you look at other ways of protecting your laptop, not just by backing it up: take a look at how you can encrypt your laptop so easily and inexpensively, and can even get your laptop to "phone home" should it be stolen!
