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.
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!

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

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?

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 .

Sprite Backup Tool
I can recommend SK-Tools backup. It is reliable and one can customize it a lot. Sprite Backup was supplied with my O2 XDA Diamond and I had several times the problem, that Sprite refused to Backup because of an unknown error shown on the screen. Perhaps because of a certain combination of installed apps, don't know.
With SK-Tools this never happend. In addition to this it is quit cheap and offers tons of other usefull functionality.
try Sprite backup and then Jeyo Mobile Companion for SMS (with threading) and Email etc.
I've used both sprite and spb in the past, and they have both worked fine for me when I restore after breaking something.
I haven't tried either one in the rom upgrade mode (I don't really trust them for that).
At the moment I'm using sprite 6.5
thanks for your help guys !
