The beta didn't have a backup option it was a standalone HOST11.EXE which
you run when the iPAQ is in USB update mode. However I have managed to
backup a new H3870 but I'm not sure what the beta has done to the two
devices I applied it to. Now when you look in the Asset view the Asset No &
Serial number are both blank, even after restoring a perfectly normal
machine. The beta has really screwed these machines, HP/Compaq are currently
looking into the problem however the worring thing is that I've seen this
beta floating around the Warez groups so it may become a more serious
problem.
