How would I save my HotSync information if I wanted to reformat?

I recently had to send in my Visor Edge for a repair, so I backed up everything on my computer first. I have yet to receive the box they told me to send it in, so I'm not sure how long it'll be before I get it back. In the meanwhile, I'm in dire need of a reformat and I was wondering how could I save my backup information for my PDA?

Would I just save the whole Palm folder under Program Files, then after I reformat, I reinstall Palm desktop, then copy the old folder over the new one? Would that work? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Do you have Outlook? You can use Outlook as your contact manager with your Palm then save the .pst file.
