How to backup my PIM info without having outlook display a..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I share my home computer with my family. I want to backup my PIM info,
without having outlook display all my apointments/tasks/reminders on my
home pc. I dont use outlook at all on PC, thats why i got a PPC (to
use as an organizer), and it is really annoying to have all my
task/apointments/alarms come up on my PC when I have my PPC in my
pocket anyway and even more annoying that all my info is available to
everyone else who uses the comp. Am I missing something obvious?
There has got to be a better way than to make a new backup file
everytime i sync, I really have no interest in using outlook at all,
for anything. My PPC has a Flash Disc, is there a way to store or
backup all my PIM info on that?

| You can back up to a memory card, a number of programs can do this. Check
| the CD's that came with your unnamed secret PPC, there may be something
| there- mine came with 2 such programs. You check the newsgroup archives,
| programs have been mentioned in the past.

you can also set-up your pocketPC to not sync your PIM data to your PC (just
un-select all the items you dont want synced in setup), but turn on
activesyncs automatic backup feature. everytime you dock your PPC you get
a full backup, without syncing any data to outlook.

especially the kind that automatically backs up your machine when the
battery gets low.
