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

HowTo restore from sprite after ROM upgrade.

After my new ROM, I would like to function again:
- restore old software on my htc
- restore favorite contacts with their pics
- restore sms (text messages)
- restore email client
I also read something about PIM, it also has something to do with backing up ii understood, but i can't open the file.
Thnx in advance,
Chris
I am having problem with the same thing(almost)
I have upgraded from 1.37 to 1.93, but when i restore from sprite the boot screen still says 1.93.00.00 but in unit info it says 1.37, i figure i take backup of some system files.. All programs, email accounts, sms, contacts are intact.
Nice if someone can make a guide of what to backup in sprite and how to restore all personal settings, accounts and programs without this problem...
?

I have done this sucessfully.
First do a FULL backup.
Second set your ROM Upgrade restore preferences at Level 1 including all databases.
Third, restore in this manner and all files/apps/prefs will be preserved.
Only works if you are restoring to the same physical diamond, if not then use restore level 2.

Yeah... I did a full backup, but when i now enter the device info from the menu it says rom version 1.37, though during boot it says 1.93.. When i do a hard reset it goes back to 1.93 in the device info menu as well. Tried restoring with level one, with db and without.. everything expept the rom version seems fine though..

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
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.

How can I backup M2D tab config?

I uprom very frequently and found that it is a waste of time putting the contacts and programmes, location (for weather)... in again to their tabs. Is there anyway I just backup the M2D setting and restore after everytime I clean storage or up new rom with M2D? I tried with M2D Customizer but it only backup themes and settings set by M2DC, not including the above concerned ones. Can anyone help? Thanks.

So there is no way to do this? So bad ;(

There's a M2D configuration tool called M2DC - search for it. It'll allow you to configure and then back up your settings.

have you tried to backup everythin (programs, config, data) using sprite backup?
Okay, there are some errors sometimes if you change the rom and recover everything but it works for me (but haven't tried with m2d)

I am using M2DC but I just don't want to backup M2DC settings only, I want to backup the contact tab and launching tab so that I don't need to insert contacts and links for programmes again when I uprom or clear storage.
Sprite backup and SPB backup are not useful in this case also as I want to change the ROM but still keep M2D settings.
Is this too complicated?

You can also create a cab for this.

[Q] Windows settings backup

Is there any program that can backup my wm settings such as: ringtones, applications, etc. So I can restore it when I change wm rom. I use PIM backup for contacts, etc?
Thank you.

Use pim backup; it has a custom files backup option as well.
