Ipaq 2210 back up prob,s

[Nic]

Help please,
I have on serveal occasions had to back up (try ) from hard resets, don't know why they happened. I had back up files on the PC but each time it says that they were created from another device and backup could not be proformed. Can you help as to why this happens and how to get round it?
As a follow on I thought I would copy the back up file onto a C/F card and then could restore from this whilst away from the home PC but I don't see how I can back up from this as the active sync on the PDA does not appear to have the back up option . Any helpers?
Cheers
Nic

RIght, the way i do it is, click on start, programs, ipaq backup, hit options, select compress, change destination to your CF card and hit on backup. If you have done a ROM upgrade after a backup that could be why it says its a different device.
