<chapter id="config-sync">
<title>Setting up your synchronization system</title>
<para>
Synchronization presents you with two issues you'll need to
deal with.
<simplelist>
<member>
Your computer needs to recognize and access your handheld.
At this time, <application>Evolution</application> only
supports Palm-OS devices like the PalmPilot and the
Handspring Visor.
</member>
<member>
You should decide what sort of synchronization behavior you
want.
</member>
</simplelist>
</para>
<para>
If you haven't used a handheld device with your computer
before, you'll need to run the GNOME <application>Control
Center</application> and make sure that <application>Pilot
Link</application> is properly configured. Then, select the
<application>Evolution</application> conduits under the
<guilabel>Pilot Conduits</guilabel> section of the Control
Center.
</para>
<para>
Once your computer and your Palm-OS device are talking happily
to each other, you'll have to decide what exactly you want
them to do with the data they exchange. Your options may vary
depending on the conduit, but typically they will be:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Disabled </term>
<listitem>
<para>
Do nothing.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Synchronize</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Copy new data from the computer to the handheld, and
from the handheld to the computer. Remove items
that were on both systems but have been deleted on
one.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Copy From Pilot</term>
<listitem>
<para>
If there is any new data on the the handheld device,
copy it to the computer.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Copy To Pilot</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Copy new data from the computer to the handheld.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Merge From Pilot</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Copy new data from the handheld to the computer, and
remove any information from the computer that has
been deleted on the handheld.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Merge To Pilot</term>

Copy new data from the computer to the handheld, and
remove any information from the handheld that has
been deleted on the computer.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</para>
<para>
Select a behavior for each conduit available. For the most
part, you'll want to stick with
<guilabel>Synchronize</guilabel>. Then, put your handheld on
its cradle and press the synchronization button.
</para>
<para>
<warning>
<title>Data Loss Prevention</title>
<para>
It's always a good idea to make a backup. To do that,
make a copy of your <systemitem>
<filename>~/evolution</filename> </systemitem> directory.
