Hiya,
I'm thinking about downloading and installing this:

But I was wondering if I can backup my phone as it is now so that I can restore texts and notes etc etc etc after the upgrade.
Is this possible? I'm on 6.1 now.
Thanks,
Microsoft MyPhone or Dotfred's Pimbackup would do that for you.

The topic says it all... I have a new Kaiser (arriving in a few days by mail) and I want to move everything (not the apps of course), i.e., calendar entries, notes, contacts etc. from my old Wizard phone to my new Kaiser.
HOW?
Thanks

Ya can't get more precise and concise with that answer!! Unles you are not using Outlook.
Best way is the standard way....
EDIT, maybe be you can...Ensure on first Sync you replace all information on your new device with all from computer. Sometimes a standard Sync can delete your Outlook info replicating your new device.
Never used Outlook before... I'll give it a try.
Well, you can use pimbackup to backup contacts, recent calls, etc and transfer that backup file to the kaiser and restore it(Just a theory but its just crazy enough to work!!!!) As for programs, and personalized settings(themes, etc) your going to have to redo those!!
use pimbackup
pimbackup does the job nicely - backup to an sd card, move the card and do a restore - get pimbackup here:

Hey guys after having one of Duty's origional roms since september i took a chance on : L26_WM6.1_PROV4_(3.51.502.0_WWE)_Multimedia which moved me from 6.0 to 6.1 win mobile. I flashed. Everything is great. I used Sprite backup. The only thing is i see all my contacts in contacts (when i click the contacts on HTC Home) but none of them come up when someone is dialing.
I reladed contacts only from Sprite and stilll.. see all contacts.. nothing is showing up on incoming? Do i need to move them/wipe them out or something? Is there a difference between windows mobile 6.0 contact management and 6.1 ? So far i only that on 6.1 when i add to contact it asks me whether i want to save to Sim or Outlook. I choose outlook since in origional rom i had it all saved to Phone not SIM .
Any ideas why my incoming calls dont display the contact? Let me know if u need additional data.
Thanks guys
This community is the best.
anyone on this? anyway i can reload the contactS?
I think I read somewhere that Sprite doesn't work to move stuff from 6.0 to 6.1. But I don' know that as a fact.
Maybe you could try syncing them to Outlook. Export your address book to a CSV so you have a back up. Then Delete your Contact from the Device. Then Resync them.
If you don't want to have your Contacts on the Outlook then Use PimBackup to Back up your contacts only. Delete them from your outlook, which will delete them from your device during Sync. (Remove the Outlook Sync Part. Then Restore the PimBackup.
I used PPCPimBackup to migrate. I have never had this problem even when migrating from a Dash to the Tilt (and many ROMs after that)
Hi Guys,
You can restore Contacts, Appointments, Tasks, My Documents, Internet Favs using the latest release of Sprite Backup - 6.2.2 - after a ROM upgrade. You can also use the Merge Restore to attempt a restore of all the other data.

Same problem here.
Running:
-Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27__FIX
-JumpSPL1.56/hard SPL V1
Can't for the life of me figure a fix for this one. Seems like it would be pretty simple...but no such luck. Help would be appreciated!

dear users!
My wife needs to hard reset her mobile, well ill do it for her obviously.
But we are worried about loosing sms messages and contacts.
On my Kaiser, I have used PIM Backup which splendidly backs up my sms and contacts (does not retain/restore pictures from mms )
Any way, PIM Backup does not work on 6.1 and she has not synced to a laptop, so no option of restoring from outlook, also useless coz she cant sync/send sms to outlook.
Any suggestions? I took a look at her sprite backup and it allows you to select what you want to restore, like My Documents and so on.
So any help please?
Thanks
PIM Backup does work on WM6.1. I use it all the time on my Diamond.
ohh , maybe the version I used ( I think 2.6) didnt work.
Ill give it a shot again.
Yes use PIMBackup version 2.8, worked very well..
Yes it worked!
Thanks
Normally I use sprite backup to backup everything in one go from my Artemis, including SMS, and then restore the backup if I've done a hard reset. But since I will shortly be using the diamond instead of the artemis and cannot use sprite backups on the Diamond (as far as I've been told) is there a way to transfer my SMS from Artemis to Outlook, and then from Outlook to the Diamond?
I've got Outlook set up now and have saved contacts, calendar appointments, files, task and notes, but it doesn't appear to cater for SMS inbox, outbox, etc, only email. I read on this site about an app called Jeyo Mobile Extender, but apparently it can't transfer SMS back to the phone. So is there a way to do it or shall I just forget the old SMS's and start afresh with the Diamond? Mature responses if you please. Thanks.
Wait, I have a really old version, outlook 2003. I need 2007, right? I read that it caters for sms.
Try PPCPimBackup (freeware) or Jeyo Mobile Companion(shareware).

Thanks, I heard about Pim, will give it a try.
I charged the phone last night for the first time, then popped the T-Mobile CD in. I installed the newer version sprite backup software on the CD onto the phone, and then copied my latest sprite backup file created on my artemis with the older version sprite backup that came with the artemis, hoping it might recognise it and do the restore, yet it doesn't recognise it. Is this because my sprite backup file was created in WM5 and the diamond is WM6?
just sign up for microsoft my phone. sync the old phone then just choose to restore to phone when you sync the new phone. FREE

Thanks, looks like a great way to transfer texts, photos and video. But, this is on their site:
"Will Microsoft My Phone work on my mobile phone?
Currently, Microsoft My Phone works only on phones that run the Windows Mobile 6+ operating system."
My artemis is windows mobile 5. Only the diamond is WM6. So I guess it won't work.
I'm now trying Spb backup. Apparently it can transfer a full backup to a new phone even if the new phone has a different rom. I've just installed it on both phones and it's currently backing up my old stuff including what's on the storage card. I hope when I transfer the file to the diamond and try the restore it doesn't say incompatible or doesn't recognise. Fingers crossed. I looked at PIM backup but Spb seems to do more.
Well, it worked with Spb. I have all my text messages right back to 2007 on the new phone
My setup is:
work laptop, xp / outlook 2007
home vista / outlook 2007
work phone: nokia E71
enjoying: my tilt
The thing is, I recently started flashing, oh yes
I used pimbackup, myphone, and even googlesync, to have all of my data (contacts and calendar) available in all of the above mentioned devices, and failed miserably.
Deletions, duplicates, you name it, I had it...
I started reading, I mean really reading the forum, and I'm still doing it, but so far no luck.
Does anyone has an idea what would be the smartest way to ensure all of my data safe and synced in all of the above mentioned devices?
Or, please overlook my noobness, and just point me in the direction of the right thread?
TIA

anybody outhere?
what I would do is this. DELETE all your contacts from your phone and your Outlook contacts. Then delete all your SMS. Hide your SIM contacts. Then use Pim Backup. Then after it restores everything you will have one copy. Then resync with your comp and store all the new info to your comp. Ideally PIM Backup is best used only for storing SMS, let active sync do the rest. Just in case let pim backup store all your contacts, but when restoring only select to restore SMS so you dont have duplicate contacts.
thank you, I'll give it a try.
