Lost Data

Moving home from the country I was working, I lost all the data and programs I had stored in my Visor Deluxe (I still do not understand why or how, but it seems my Visor suffered a hot reset). Unfortunately now I realized I forgot to bring with me the synced data I had stored in my computer. I've been trying, without success, to guide a friend of mine to locate that data in the computer I used at work.

The following is the list of files my friend found in my ex-computer

Any ideas where I can find that data?

The synced data is located by default in the C:\Program Files\Palm\<username>\Backup folder. The username folder name comes from the HotSync user ID and is usually a form of LastnameFirstinitial. For example, my HotSync ID is Mark Pierson and my user folder is called PiersoM. In your listing of the Palm folder, however, I don't see anything that might be your user folder.

Another reason for Backup Module

This unfortunate incident shows how important the Backup module is.
This was the first module I purchased and I Backup at least twice a day.
I even have gone as far as using BackupBuddy for additional failsafe. Then I also backup the Palm directory to CD-RW and Zip 100 on a weekly basis.
Probably a little anal, but MAIC.
