you backup contacts when you sync with your pc
wiki page for flashing rom backup stuff and the works
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kovsky&redi
Backing up msgs requires extra apps. Flexilis works, as does smsOrganizer.
I use Microsoft My Phone service - it uploads all your stuff then you can add it all again after a cusom rom flash etc - it has never failed me http://sn1-p1.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po
i tried that microsoft site, but all contact will update on net, so how can i save it in my computer??

SPB backup.
It's not free but it's the best app.
When backing up untick system box though.
"i tried that microsoft site, but all contact will update on net, so how can i save it in my computer??"
if you sync with outlook on the computer they are backup that way
I used the PIM Back up, copied it to my PC, flashed X1, copied it back to X1, and restored. It backed up and restored all of my contacts including contact pictures and my messages.
Im with "Im Packing". PIM Backup is not just a free software, but a very useful one as well. Use forum search or google for the side you get it. Read about flashing in the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development. There you'll get information concerning flashing. Have fun!

Hi All,
I am considering upgrade from 1.6.7.1 to 2.16.9.101. The only think that still hold me is backup of my sms messages.
My question is - Is there are way to back up sms messages without any backup SW (e.g. spbBack etc.)?
I know from Outlook that it holds all its mails in single file, which I can just copy to DVD and after fresh install import. I suspect that it should be the case with Pocket Outlook as well. And as long as SMS are part of Pockect Outlook, they should be kept in the same file. Where is that file and can I replace it after new ROM installation?
Thanks in advance
helo there, brother.. am here with a solution for ur problem and yet, another question aswel..
u can use jeyo mobile companion 1.1 to backup all ur sms's.. i use this to backup my sms if i hardreset my fone or reflash my rom.. really useful software.. hope this helps..
now heres my question, jeyo mobile companion doesnt allow me to back up sms's in folders, ie, i have a specific folder in my inbox for the sms my girlfriend sends me.. but wen i do the backup with jeyo mobile companion, it does not backup the msgs in the folder.. i'l hav to move the msgs to the inbox folder b4 i backup and after i restore them, i hav to move them bak to folders.. so i wud like to kno an application that would backup sms and folders as well.. thanx in advance
Well,
Your proposal is solution, however not exactly into the direction I am looking for... jeyo usage means that I have to use third party SW to backup my SMS messages and restore them afterwards.
So let me repeat what I want to do:
1. Take from my PPC file where all my SMS are stored (using file explorer and Active Sync);
2. Save this file to my laptop;
3. Flash ROM;
4. Replace new, empty file created by fresh Pocket Outlook on PPC with mine.
If somebody can tell me how to perform that sequence it will be really appreciated,
Thanks in advance
I guess they are in the root of the mobile device.. one of those .vol files maybe? You could try these files. (After you've secured your sms-messages with a third-party program of course - as a temporary solution)
Yes, I thought the same. Unfortunately I am not able to copy any of those files (cemail for instance). I have got the message "Cannot copy "cemail". There has been sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
I suspect that this file is already locked by some system applications running. Any ideas are welcomed,
Regards

With spb backup you can backup only your contacts, E-mail and SMS messages if you want to, works great. I have mine backing these up every night in case of crash.
I found if you use the file explorer in the mda to copy everything to a mini sd card you overcome the "sharing violation" error.
ok guys i have a lil problem and i hope you'll help me to solve it...
recently ive upgraded my 9090 to wm5 and ive made a backup using sprite software... however im not able to force that piece of software to restore my inbox and contacts on the new system... i have a fresh backup, made using wm2003 xBackup software and here goes the question...
is it possible to restore xBackup's backup file on wm5 (helmi 1.3.2)?
(the file is called CompactFlashBackUpPim)
No, you can't do it. The different versions of the OS store the data differently. You need to go back to 2003, activesync your contacts etc to your PC, upgade, then re-sync. I think the upgrade guide mentions this.
I always keep mine sync'ed anyway, so doing an upgrade is a very quick process. I also keep cabs on the SD card so I can quickly install everything.
and is it a way to see the data like appointments or contacts from that backup file?
I change the windows of my PC and the new connection of my HTC delete all m contacts.
How can I find my old contacts ??
Please HELP ME !!!
Hi,all the time you must backup your files in your pda,spb backup for programs and Pimbackup for contacts ...
Thanks but PIM backup work when you use it to save your pim informations.
I don't use before and the PIM Backup doesn't find the last pim informations ...
Another solution ?
would recommend you strongly to open an account in my.funambol.com and install their WM application, extremely easy & useful for backup...
I will this solution. I have try other but without succes ....
OP, I'm not quite sure about your complaints about the functioning of PIM Backup, but it works extremely well for me. Just make sure you back up to your storage card and not your device memory, as a hard reset will wipe all added on information from your device memory.
I have an Exchange account with 1and1. It syncs all of my contacts/calendar/tasks/mail.
Whenever I port to a new ROM, I just double check that my photos/video/docs are on my MicroSD card, and flash away! Then on the new ROM, I just point to my exchange account again, and I'll be right back where I was in minutes.
Definitely work the small $
I think I forgot my contact forever ...
I don't use before a Pim backup and WM6 and Activesync don't propose a backup ... I use PDA during the last 6 year and it was the first time thaqt I lose my contacts ...
Next time I install a Pim backup program ...

I plan to update the OS of my TyTN II from WM6.0 to 6.1.
I regularly back-up my files with Sprite Back-up.
My question is, will there be any issues (incompatibility etc) with restoring my back-up files to the new OS?
On that note, will the programs I used to have in WM6.0 (e.g. TCPMP, TouchFlo cube from XDA forums etc) be still compatible with WM6.1? Will I be able to re-install them without issues?
TIA
rigel
Only if you have a new enough version of Sprite Back-up

There will be issues unless you get (possibly at cost) a new enough version of Sprite backup. The freebie version included on the HTC CDROM may complain if you try this and only handles restores and backups within the same OS. Someone posted about exactly this issue here on 23/7.... will search for that thread.
***Edit*** Here is that thread but read what it mentions about cross OS back-ups and restores not working with everything (except things like personal folders, contacts etc).
Problem after installing WM6.1
Personally when ever I upgrade an OS on any device I always reinstall software from scratch and check the software apps compatibility with the new OS before doing so at the software publishers website.
***Edit 2*** Changed subject and content to reflect possibly not the very latest version still being OK. Latest post after this one (to check manual) is good advice.
I have Sprite 6 and it is fully compatible with WM 6.1. If you have Sprite WM2005 I THINK you can still do a back up and restore but need to go through a process of getting an upgrade file first. IIRC the Sprite User Guide details the process under 'Advanced Mode'. If not, the Sprite site has it under their FAQs re WM2005.
Hi!
May I join in ?
has anyone discovered any other issues?
I use CE-Star, and check email via an Exchange Server.
Is ugrading to 6.1 really beneficial ?
Back to my searching...
ofiaich
Now that I've thought about it...
Much thanks Flying Kiwi
After thinking about it, and reading that other thread, I'm thinking I don't really need the Sprite backup. I mean, the really important stuff (contacts, e-mail, tasks/schedules/calendar) are already in my laptop, and I could just do a sync after I upgrade to 6.1, right?
Come to think of it, what other stuff exactly is in the Sprite backup file? All the other stuff like music, pictures and whatnot are in my memory card. Will 6.1 recoginse all those files in my microSD? Or do I have to sync all my music from WMP all over again?
I don't mind having to re-install all the other applications. I'm also just wondering if they would also be compatible with 6.1.
Pardon the "amatureish" questions. I'm all new at this

I'm on a mission to update my ROM, and I've been reading/thinking about it, and I have come to the following conclusions.. Hopefully if I'm wrong on any of them, someone can say so..
I'll backup my SMS and PIM data. PIM data should sync back over, SMS will not, so I'll need to restore that.
Update HardSPL. I don't know what version I have, but I'll put the latest suggested for WM 6.1 (3.56 I believe)
I'll take Sprite Pro, and download a copy of my stock ROM and Radio and put those three files on my SD card, so if all else fails, I can just go right back the way I was. (Right??)
Write down all of my *must have* apps, make sure I have their cabs and put them and licensing info on my SD card for easy reinstall. And what ones I can save settings on or write down the settings, do that so I have it.
Hard reset, install new ROM (I think I'm going with ROMEOS) and Radio (1.65.20.xx I think it was I decided on for GPS, battery etc), hard reset again.
Tilt specific settings will go away, but there's a thread on that by redbandana that's great. So restore some cabs there to fix that back.
Install my minmum required apps and reconfigure them, make sure it's all working, configured, get synced back up with Outlook, etc.. Once that's done, make a backup with Sprite Pro.
Reinstall auxillary stuff, but I'm going to try (my best!!) to minimize this, as it makes a mess and seems to cause problems. Right now my Tilt has no notifications (not Opera related), no LEDs (thus TT7 doesn't work), and some general weirdness sometimes.
Hopefully by doing this I'll have two complete setups.. the WM6.1 setup installed and backed up on the SD card. Also my current WM6.0 setup that I could return to by hard reset, install 6.0 ROM and radio and run backup file if all else fails.
So in the end, I could swap between my current WM6.0 and new WM6.1 without a lot of hassle if I needed to, but hopefully I won't need to.
Hope this isn't considered thread crapping, but seems relevant to most people migrating to 6.1 and are unsure about the process (as I am stll myself)
Hey guys,
Have decided to give my Diamond another whirl after falling out with my LG Renoir but am using a new laptop as the one with the active sync etc......... broke........ and I cant find the "get started" cd with everything on!!!
Anyone know if I can download the active sync etc from somewhere?
Its free from Microsoft
Dont suppose you have a link?
Sorry for being a pain in the backside.
Ohh found it. Thanks.
Is the back up program etc included in active sync?

No, since ActiveSync 4.0 there's no backup feature in ActiveSync! If youÄ're looking for Sprite Backup, it must be on a separate CD by HTC! But you could find it on HTC's website in the e-Club section, I think!

I had a look on the HTC site and when I put my serial number in it said my device is not suitable for this download!!???
Then you haven't an original HTC Touch Diamond!
Make a search through the whole Diamond section and you will find a proper serial number!
Ahh ok, will have look, Thanks!
I have downloaded PIMBackup but thats on the phone itself, do I have to backup the info to my PC if I want to do a ROM update??

If you don't sync with ActiveSync, it's better to do that for not to lose your PIM data (SMS, Mails, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks)!
I have downloaded Activesync and have it running and syncing ok.
Have also downloaded a trail version of Sprite Backup.
Would this be ok to do a ROM update? (or flash, whatever its called! lol)
If you only want to backup your contacts, messages, calendar and tasks, I think that PIM Backup 2.8 is all you really need for this job!
Back up them onto your Internal Storage, flash the desired ROM and import your data with PIM Backup again!

On htc's site e-club, they don't allow to download sprite backup, cause i tried, and site shows me message "you can't download this app" or something similarly, but originally rom i can download, maybe now sprite backup isn't free from their site...
If somebody need sprit backup 6.5 version, can pm me, and i'll send you...
