Back up everything to avoid total loss

I bought my sister a Sony Clie about a year ago and she loves it. In fact, she uses it more than a personal computer because she finds it far easier. I have told her to sync it with a computer but she will not.

She religiously recharges it and in general takes good care of it. She even bought a Memory Stick and sometimes moves important data onto it.

Well, as I expected, it crashed and she has lost the names, addresses and telephone numbers of hundreds of people. It is really bad and I do not have the heart to tell her 'I told you so'.

Is there a simple way to solve this kind of problem? I looked for some kind of backup software but it is too confusing.

Backup has long been one of my favourite subjects, particularly for those who are new to computers. There is something about the advertising one sees from the main vendors that makes you think nothing will ever go wrong.
