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

Sprite Backup

What is the function of sprite backup..?
What is the procedure to recover the default settings in case the phone hangs ..
I wish to put Ifonz ( Iphone clone) as i like it.. has anybody used it...?
i hope it will not mess up the ROM...?
cheers.

Sprite backup is to errrr Backup everything you want from your device.
It is always a good idea to backup everything especially system settings in case you have to hard reset.
I personally use SPB Backup, but Sprite does the same thing.
Just follow the programme and it will ask you what you want to backup and usually includes all your PIM data.
You can then do a restore with the same programe.

thanks Mack....i used it now.
Now any of you have used Ifonz..? it is clone of iphone display..

What version of Spb backup did you try ?

It works fine both for saving and restoring if you disable the "close all running programs" in the menu - works for me!

have the same problem.

Hi!
I do not know the difference between "spb backup" and "pim backup", but "pim backup" (you can get it on http://www.dotfred.net) works perfectly on the diamond.

Okay, this means that "pim backup" is not the best alternative for spb backup.
Sry, but I thought I could help

Spb Backup WORKS! All you need to do is explained in post #3!

Why not using the HTC edition of sprite backup? It's free.

right! using it for a month. E X C E L E N T ! the only one that never let me down. before i am doing some crazy experiment or debugging a new program i am using it. peace of mind...
please stop this thread. you asked, you got yr answer, now stop. this is diamond forum. spb and sprite has their own forums. google and ask there. please.

i realy like the spb backup but i heared that it have some problem when restoring
so i switch to sprite backup

I have restored the Diamond a lot, with SPB Backup. No problem. You can restore after a rom flash, it detects the rom flash and asks for a special restore, you can easily restore a part of the backup, etc.
No problem at this time with this product

Extract files from .exe Sprite Backup file?

I made the misstake and backup my phone with Sprite Backup to a .exe file instead of a .pbf file... Now I can't restore the files I need without a fully restore. This would not be good as I have upgraded the ROM.
Does anyone know how I can extract some files from this backup file (.exe)?
I have tried Sprite Explorer but it doesn't work.
Also, does anyone know if Sprite Backup backups SMS?
Edit:
Can answer myself... I made a FULL restore of my backup file and it seems to have restored the ROM? and also all the SMS and everything... So now I have installed Spb Backup and made backup of those files I want to backup...

Works fine for me... I can extract any file I like from my sprite (.exe) backup files using Sprite Explorer 6.2.2

Hi studtz,
Can you tell where did you find Sprite Explorer 6.2.2? I cannot find it anywhere on the net...I do have the same trouble to get my contacts from Sprite backup "exe" files with Sprite Explorer 1.0001.etc... I do need help on this...
Does anybody knows about it?

Hi,
I've made a backup using SPB on my MDA from T-Mobile (Diamond.)
Now, I've updated to Dutty ROM and everything works fine.
However, when I restore the backup from SPB (.exe) and do only restore PERSONAL DATA the device doesn't boot anymore. I must do a hard reset to make it boot again.
I only want to get my SMS. Contacts etc. is all in Outlook 2007.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
J.

Same problem here!
Same Explorer problem (.exe)
I'm about ready to run at Sprite Backup with a chainsaw. I just wanted to back up my contacts and now I can't sync them to my phone by themselves. The program always fails. Is there an alternative? Must I use ActiveSync to connect?

hello guys.
I changed my Rom on HTC Touch HD, and i run the spritebackup.exe .
My problem is that i dont see my contacts in the new Rom.
Furthermore I have the sprite explorer on my laptop, but i dont know where are the contacts, which saved on the backup.exe .
Could anyone help me to find the contacts in the sprite explorer ? Which is the tab(of sprite exlporer) including the contacts ?
thanks guys

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.
