By syncing your phone with your computer, you can easily access your music, photos, and Outlook contacts and e-mail. ActiveSync is the user-installable desktop PC synchronization program that ships with all Windows Mobile devices. Install it on your Windows desktop PC, connect your Windows Mobile device to your desktop PC via cable or data cradle. ActiveSync senses the connection and automatically synchronizes Calendar appointments, Contacts, Tasks, e-mail, and more, between the mobile and desktop computer. The synced data will now be on your PC.

Pre-Windows Mobile 5.0 devices can use ActiveSync to do a complete system backup and restore. Just connect your device to the PC, wait until ActiveSync is finished syncing, click on ActiveSync’s Tools menu on the PC and select the Backup/Restore option.If you don’t have a copy click on the appropriate link for your OS and download for free from Microsoft.
