I swap between two Tungsten Cs every three months to minimize wear and tear on each one. Here's the process I follow:

- Fully charge in-coming C.
- Run HotSync, BackupMan, BackupBuddyVFS on out-going C.
- Hard reset in-coming C (unless battery was already dead). (This is to clear everything off it. I've had issues with the Shortcuts refusing to be restored if I don't hard reset.)
- Move main SD card from out-going C to in-coming C.
- BackupMan recovery from main SD card to in-coming C.
- Desktop-to-Handheld HotSync for DocsToGo (done through DocsToGo PC app), Bonsai, HanDBase, Plucker, WordSmith, RepliGo.
- Reset HotSync settings.
- Use RescoViewer to delete the three default JPGs in RAM.
- Silence out-going C, verify sounds are on for in-coming C.
- For some reason I always need to re-enter the purchase code for  Agendus Mail on the in-coming C.
