I'm looking for any tips for backing up my 8125 prior to upgrading on Monday. I of course am not to worried about my contacts and dates as those are in OL.
Is there any programs available to help with this? Or do I just load everything over one by one?
Thanks
David
Probably the best is sprite backup www.spritesoftware.com because it has a facility to backup and restore when doing a rom upgrade.
Next there is spb backup that does not have above feature but you can do a partial backup with custom options.
Or do a manual backup
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Back-up your data but backup your software is a waste if you are upgrading the OS Rom.
What I do is have most of my programs installed on SD Card. I use iLauncher so I have created a folder on my storage card "\Program Files\Shortcuts" and use sub-folders for each tab in iLauncher to store my shortcuts.
I export my config settings from iLauncher & PocketBreeze, saving them to my storage card.
Using spb back-up I will back-up PIM Data.
Now after Rom Flash I just have to install the few device installed programs (InClose, PocketBreeze, iLauncher, SmartsKeys, MS Voice Command).
I then import the previously saved config files for PocketBreeze and iLauncher.
Finally, I install cab files with my registry settings for previously installed programs and registry hacks.
Bingo, less work same great functionality...
I want a program to extract files from a backup of Sprite backup software with extension pbf.
I want to transfer contacts and other pim data from my old Imate Jam to htc touch viva. How?
Thanks in advance.

Use PIM backup on your first device..backup all the files that you want (ex. contact) and save them in a directory that you want...after connect your PDA on the PC and transfer this file (that you can find in the folder choose in the program). finally you must install on the new device (the OPAL) this fantastic app, copy the backup's file in a folder that you want in the new PDA and with the same application, RESTORE.!

I did a backup with rom manager recovery mode and need to pull 2 pics from it but don't want to restore my old rom. Is there any way to mount the backup to pull the files.
I have a mac running 10.6.4 I am familiar with adb and the unix terminal.
Those files are iso files so I'm not so sure you can easily extract files from them. I haven't tried yet so ymmv.

I gave a brief description of how to pull files from nandroid backups here:
Pulling your android_id from datadata.img
Basically you just want to compile/use unyaffs on the nandroid backup to extract all the files to grab your image.
unyaffs will extract all the files to the current working directory so it's useful to make a new directory, cd into it, and run the extraction from there.
