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

Backup 8125

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.

Restoring from Sprite after 6.1 Upgrade

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

Like:
Adv config
Camera cab
KaiserTweak cab

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.

Are my text messages gonna get deleted if I flash my ROM?

I've flashed my radio ROM before, but I forgot if my text messages survived after it...
They won't survive the flash.
You either need to store them on the SIM or use PIM backup to back them up.
Moved to appropriate forum for better exposure.
PIM Backup is the best. Also read the guide on how to backup your pocket pc. Pretty useful before ROM flashing.

I second PIM Backup.
Just flashed a new rom 10 minutes ago (HDIII Dec 25 build), used PIM Backup, flashed, restored and all my text threads are back.
agreed pim back up saves all contacts task calander n messages to a file for restoring later just make sure you save on storage card and not phone as it will be wiped no doubt
The message conversations between you and your SIM contacts will remain but the message conversations between you and your outlook contacts will be deleted, at least thats how it is when I flash my ROMs

PIMBackup and Win6.5

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.
