Hi,
I want to Backup me Phone via PIM Backup. There is an option to choose folders that should be backuped.
Now, I want to backup my login Data to my exchange server, so that I do not need to retype all that stuff evrey time I try a new rom.
Does anyone have an idea where that data is saved?
Thanks.
Cheers
Jens

I just upgraded to the iMate ROM from the original cingular rom on my 8125. I backed up everything using aWizard before flashing it. Is there a way I can import my contacts from backup or do I have to go through and re-add all of them?
Thanks!

Don't know about aWizard, but did you sync your contacts with Outlook on your PC? Then you can sync them back on your PPC.
Next time try Sprite Backup, it allows you to backup/restore all aspects of your data separately.
Cheers, M
No I didn't. I really don't use outlook. I was thinking that maybe they were somewhere in the backup data pulled from aWizard.
Thanks for the info though!

The contacts database must be in there, but I don't know how to get it out.
Consider doing a hard-reset, after the restored the backup to clean your device again.
So restore the backup, save the contacts with sprite or outlook sync. Then hard-reset to get rid of unwanted old rom items. Restore contacts with sprite or outlook sync.
Hope it helps, M
aWizard does not backup user data in the RAM. It only backup your ROM. You won't get any luck from getting your contacts back from the aWizard backup.
Hi I'm tired of re-installing all my programs after every upgrade to new rom. I know people here were talking of back ups so they could get back all their programs after upgrade. I'm confused as to what and which folder to backup. Note most of my programs are installed in SD card. Messages, contacts and emails are no problem it's just the programs. Help appreciated. Thanks.
??? nobody knows the answer???/ Pls!!!
you can use Sprite Backup...and NS Contacts for your numbers and stuff...

Sprite is the only app that can restore after upgrading your ROM. I suggest you make a full backup (including sd card) and use upgrade mode to restore after the ROM update. Make sure you read the FAQs first.
Is there a way to almost duplicate the flash memory, OS, Filesystem, contacts, by backing up the entire memory address? I need to restore it all to a new phone, my screen busted on my old HTC Atlas (T-mobile wing) and i need all my contacts and files. Something like Flash Backup for the razr? Thx

There IS a backup system. I think it's called Sprite backup or something. But it doesn't back up the OS and I'm not sure about the filesystem either...
Yep its Sprite Backup, and its the best one out there, it Backup/restore everything but the OS .............. your filesystem, Registry, Settings, contacts, Messages etc. ......................... I walk around with a most recent backup of my device on my Storage card and if I ever have to hardreset while I am on the road I dont have to wait untill I get home to setup my phone the way I want it .........................
The other one Is called SPB Backup, but it does not compare to Sprite. There is a good Comparison between both software HERE
The screen is busted on this phone, is there not a way to dump the rom like cooking a rom and then write it to a new phone?
Not for the things in the storage. Just for the ROM itself. Not without being able to install a program to it.
So i finally flashed my first custom ROM, yeah!
BUT i pulled a bonehead move and forgot to copy contacts to the sd card I did do a full apps & data backup in TiBu before flashing. Now obviously the new rom has apps already loaded so i can't just drop the backup folder on the sd or it will overwrite the existing one, can i rename the one i backed today and restore from that one? OR can i just restore contacts somehow from the backup?

If you made a nandroid backup, you can restore it and try again.
You have an android phone, are your contacts synced with gmail? If not, you should start saving your contacts to gmail. I never backup contacts, I use gmail and Facebook to store my contacts.
If you didn't make a backup before you flashed your phone, and you didn't sync them with gmail ... how did you transfer them to your captivate originally? Do you still have that data?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
If you did the full apps and data backup.. i believe your contacts "should" still be there. Go into tibu and to the backup/restore tab.. scroll down and it will be one of them that is in Green. I think says something along the lines of contacts. If you click that and then hit data only.. It "Should" restore your contacts. After you do that, you need to reboot your phone before you will see the contacts.
Now, however, it also depends on what Rom you put on. I have done this twice. The first time was when i installed Cog 3.04. I found out how to do that and i did it and my contacts went back on to my phone no problem.. Now, i have installed Andromeda 2.0 and when i tried to do that, swype bugs out like crazy . some bug with their new Rom that wont let you do it. I am guessing it has something to do with the app versions or something. Luckily for me, most of my contacts were saved through google.. so i got the most of them back. only missing a few ..
So, give this a try.. and see if that works for you..

Hi all,
I am currently using Webstar's Ultimate ROM v7.2 but have decided to switch to Darky's latest.
I plan to do a full wipe during the installation.
I have downloaded titanium backup from the Market, and paid for the full version. But I don’t know how to use it!
I’ve just told it to do a batch backup of all user apps and data.
When I install the wipe ROM I will of course be wanting to restore EVERYTHING.
Will titanium be able to do this? Will it restore all my apps/ games/ games scores [angry birds/ grave defence Etc]?
Will it restore all my SMS/ Emails?
Will it restore my desktop wallpaper/ widgets/ launcher pro settings?
Finally when I come to do the restore, do I select the RUN – restore missing apps + all system data?
Thank you all in advance
Matt
Sometimes i have noticed that if you backup system data and restore it on another rom it can cause some issues (FC's Unresponsiveness, Apps not working) so its always best to do a wipe version... you can backup Apps + App data but i never backup system data if im moving ROM. but thats upto you...
and as for your sms/ wallpapers/ homescreen arrangement it will not save them.. but some launchers have the option to backup the homescreen so check that first... anything on your internal sd card. back up to your PC.

I agree with azzledazzle.
Use titanium backup to restore your apps and save data but i would use it for much else than that.
When you wipe your phone it will ask you to input your email account anyway on the first boot up So all your email will be back,
You will lose your sms though...
If you use gmail sync all your contact to your gmail account so they will all be put back on your phone autimatically on the first boot.
Hope that helps a bit.

+1 this is the best method. your emails will stay intact, as for a few sms there not worth keeping (unless they are dirty sms from a dirty woman) lol
