is there i program i can download to Backup all my contacts and ect..? i want to back up all my contents cuz i wanna try a new rom.. but dont wanna loose everything if i decide to come back to my original rom..is this possible?
ActiveSync? This is how I back up all my contacts with outlook/ outlook express etc.....
ActiveSync will only backup your contacts, calendar, tasks, and the files in your "\My Documents" folder. However, to backup everything, you can use a program like Sprite Backup or SPB Backup (both are shareware). I use Sprite Backup personally and I like the way it works for me. Reguardless of the backup program though, make sure that if you are changing the AKU version of your OS that you do not restore a full backup. Read the manual and restore only upgrade backups and the like. Also, the contacts, SMS's, Call timers and such will not restore through an upgrade from AKU 1.x or 2.x to an AKU 3.x system. At least I haven't seen a way to do it yet. Well, I hope this helps a bit ^_^
Pim Backup works really well in backing up and restoring your email, sms messages, mms messages, contacts and stuff. The latest is 2.8 and it is freeware.

SPB Backup will do this for you.
It allows you to do a complete backup & restore the parts you want to.
What you want to back up is listed under "PIM" with SPB Backup.
Handy tool to have!
You can also dowload the freeware smsOrganizer.
You can try FlexMail also It gives you all backup features you need. Sprite backup do the same thing as a backup application.
Regarding your WM5 theme, just go to settings/today/appearence and choose another theme from the list.
Good luck!
I use Sprite and Jeyo
Sprite can't successfully restore on WM6 MMS backed up on WM5.
Any hints?

Hi, I am using SPB back up and under PIM data, I can only see contacts, appointments, call log and speed dial, There is no SMS or MMS, Am I missing something? I did a full back up and I am not sure why it's not backing up the SMS and MMS. Any help. Please let me know if there are any programs for backing up the MMS. Thanks

do you reinstall every software or make same sort of backup?
I have installed and personalized a lot my pdaviet 09 and now I want to get the last pdaviet 10.....
Starting from scratch again?
Thanks

programs/applications/PIM backup
this program takes a backup of sms, mms, email, contacts, outlook etc etc...
this prog is installed on the new one too, to restore. But remember to save the backup to your memorycard..if not it will be gone when flashing the new
Yep start from scratch. Install cab via active sync so you just have to install from your pc makes it much eaiser if you have lots of stuff
I searched, but i was looking for a program that would back up my call history. any ideas?
PIM Backup
Search for an App Called PIM Backup. (Or Find it here)
question
Here what am wanting to do. I need to save call history but I want to flash to Dutty's new rom. Is it possible to do Pim backup and flash to a new rom?
thanks in advance.
Yep
Install PIM Backup on your Phone, backup whatever you want to a file. Use Active Sync to copy the file to your desktop. Flash the ROM and then use PIM Backup (already installed on Dutty's ROMS) to restore the data from the Backup File.
Personally, I use PIM for Call Hist, Messages, Speed Dials and OneNote Folders. The contacts, calender and tasks are backed up by Active Sync.
All the best with Dutty's Rom.
I have a full backup of my 6.0 machine and can't restore it after the wonderful 6.1 upgrade. I'm on an exchange server so emails and contacts are no big deal but I would like to restore my text messages. Can I move these over individually without doing a full restore? I can move the "messaging" folder from the sprite explorer but how do I get them on the tilt? Thanks in advance.
would like to know as well!
Can't be done. Sprite Backup cannot be used to restore from ROM to ROM.
You will need to flash back to WM6, restore your Sprite backup, and then use a program called PIM Backup to archive your text messages.
After flashing WM 6.1 again, run PIM Backup again and restore your text messages.
I thought the latest versions of Sprite and SPB backup could do some ROM to ROM stuff.
Although I personally wouldn't recomment it. UC + ProvXML + my xcopyce app + ActiveSync does everything I need.

They can, but just as you said, it's not recommended. With all the unofficial builds that the ROMs here tend to be based on, it's just not wise to carry any programs over from flash to flash.
A friend of mine upgraded and used sprite (even though I told him not too), is there any way to pull JUST the contacts from the Sprite file??
You can do it. I went from WM6 to WM6.1 and used a backup I did from 6 to restore everything to 6.1.
The only tip I can give you is this.
Do not restore anything in the file system data unless its non application stuff you put there, pictures, skins, browser favourites etc.
My phone works fine I have all my old contacts, mails and pim entries from my old rom. I just re-installed my apps that were on my phone, not my storage card. Anything that runs when the phone is switched on I always install to the phone. I even restored my start menu and found that most of the games and apps I installed to the memory card run fine, they just sometimes require you to re-enter the registration details the first time you run them after restoring.
You are restoring data not programs so it should be fine.
i disabled sms threading in kaisertweak. tried to do restore using sprite again and all my sms messages show up but now i have a text message saying "account locked. company policy prohibits use of text messaging on this device. you ocannot send or recieve text messags."
also when the restore was done i got an error about sddeamon.exe
Thanks funem but when how do you specify which files to restore? When I start it makes sure I want to restore "everything." Also, I have the 10-day trial of the newest sprite but when i try and restore it says the program must be authorized to run. I emailed tech support because the trial says that it should be fully functional throughout the trial period. although its only a $10 upgrade, a free trial run just to get my text's back was all I was looking for.
When you start a restore it should take you to a tree view of the data backed up with checkboxes next to each available branch, just remove the ticks from the boxes where you dont want to restore data.
Can anyone tell me a List of things we need to install
after we have windows 6.1 on the Tilt
Like:
Adv config
Camera cab
KaiserTweak cab
do we still need all these or ........
Using Sprite Backup 1st time:
Here's another "Can anyone tell me?" question:
How long should it take Sprite Backup to run on it's first time?
I went to the program, clicked Backup, it did a reset and came up to the
Windows
Mobile
Version 6.1
screen and has been there for a long time.
How long does it take? Is it hung, or is it working?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I waited a long time, then did a soft reset and it came back and ran properly and reset.
All good, thanks anyway.

I have this same problem. can anyone please explain why? and what can i do to fix it without re installing everything.
thanks
I'm bout to install the jjblaster3 v1 rom. I currently have a win6.1 rom on there.. and backed up my contacts and whatnot with PIM Backup.. now if I install the new rom, will PIMbackup install ok and restore my contacts and messages?
In my experience PIMbackup works fine on 6.5 ROMs, although I use MyPhone now because it's easy and is handy if you ever lose the phone.
