RE
Hi the_erk!
But thats for smartphone only. :roll:
I think Sprite Backup may be able to do the job, here:-

provided you know where the sms are stored :roll:

Try Sprite backup..
you can backup EVERYTHING, and restore selectively.
this includes mail, sms, settings, contacts, as well call list and such..
hope that helps..

RE
Hi AntiProxy,
Can you do selective backup instead of everything using Sprite Backup?
Thanks

You could also use Jeyo mobile companion or outlook add-in, available here:

These allow you to manipulate and send SMS messages on your device, including copying them to your PC.

yup, you can choose to backup any of the following separately:
file system, Personal databases, mail, System Data
under File System, you may choose to backup individual paths
under Personal databases, you may choose any of the following individual DBs: Phone (Speed dials, Call logs), Categories, Contacts, Tasks, Appointments
under System data, you may choose any of the following:
Other Databases, File System, Registry.
so in short, yeah, you can backup anything and everything
i personally have it autorun at midnight taking a full backup onto the SD card, with 2 last backups retension..
i know it'll come in handy one day
with the generated backup files being self-contained executables, you can recover from a hard reset without a host computer

Try Jeyo
one of the BEST SMS utitlities for SMSing that I have used so far is the Jeyo Mobile Extender.
It allows you to backup all of your SMSes into the Outlook folders on your PC.
You can even send SMSes from the PC if your PDA is sync-ed.
It doesn't have the option of sending your smses back to the PDA though.
Check it out at www.jeyo.com
It didn't seem to work with my XDA, but worked just fine with the IIs.

Couldn't agree more its great I love it best little download yet

just to tell you, you can't backup subfolders of your sms
ie if you created any subfolders in the sms tree, jeyo doesn't back them up.

does anyne know how to back up incoming sms for XDA IIs?

Just re-read above post, it's already been explained....use sprite back up..mas

Sorry for being off-topic, but I have searched and searched to my wit's end. Do you plan to have a version of SMS Organizer for the smartphone?

Help Required for PIM restoration

Hi guys,
I am urgently seeking a help.
After upgrading/flashing to PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap ROM, I am unable to restore PIM (contacts and calendar) information. I use Spb Backup for backing up. Though I was able to restore E-Mail (e-mail + SMS) from the same file. If I try to restore PIM info, I get some db error message and on top of that even cellular network is unavailable.
It seems that there is some difference in db structure for AKU 3.0 and 3.0.1 featured in the above ROM. I did though try to launch the file on my older WM2k3SE device but with no luck.
The issue is that I do not even have all the contacts and calendar on my Outlook (on the desktop), and as you can guess I am sitting empty with hundreds on contacts and calendar items lying in the backup file.
1. Is there anyone here to whom I can send the backup .exe file (created using Spb Backup app), so that he can launch it on his Artemis and then sync with clean Outlook and then export 2 files in .pst format (one for contacts and the other for calendar)
2. Or is there any other way to recover this information from the backup file that I have.
Someones assistance is required, as I am stuck. I will be highly thankful for any help.

The problem has been resolved thanks to user RAMBO29 here.
Well, few other gave me some tips as well .... tnx to them, too.

Unable to create new Contact with WM6

I upgraded to WM6 last week and everything is working well EXCEPT that I cant create a new Contact to my SIM or memory.
Anybody facing this issue? Any recommendation??
Thanks.
emjay
ROM Version : 3.00.707.17
Radio version : 1.46.00.11

Are you saying that you don't have the "soft" left button labeled New or it doesn't allow you to save new contacts?

Hi there PGMMA,
I can click the 'New' button but when I click the 'Save' button, the contact was not saved.
I have also tried from Phone. When I click Menu-Save to Contacts, I click <New Contact>, fill the name and save, but the contact is not saved.
No such problem before the upgrade.
Thanks

Did you copy file PIM form you old rom to new rom?

Hi xtraart,
Yes, the PIM was backed up using SPB Backup in WM5 and restored to WM6. Hmmm, that may be one of the reason...
Thanks.

Same problem experienced with the restoration of a Spb WM5 backup with the upgrade option after upgrading to WM6.
Solved the problem by saving the contacts to PC first by syncing with a PC, hard resetting PPC, then save the fresh and clean pim.vol file under My Device to somewhere, restore the Spb backup, replace the restored pim.vol with the clean pim.vol, and re-sync with the PC to get all contacts back. Then it works normally.

I managed to solve the problem thanks to solitary.
I did a PIM Backup using PIMBackup, Hard Reset, Reinstall without PIM and reinstall PIM using PIMBackup.
Thanks all...

Calendar error (impossible to use it)

Hello evrybody,
First I want to congratulate Tom and forum users for the greate job that they did.
And I have a question.
Before installing the WM6 rom I made a backup of my contacts with SpbBackup.
After installing WM6 rom, I used the ".exe" backup to restore my contacts, ant it works fine.
But now I can't use Task and Calendar, it tells me that :
"The database for this application has been deleted or is corrupted. Restore the database from a backup."
I think that spbbackup did something wrong (mabie compatibilituy problem for this database between WM5 and WM6)
So my question is : Do anyone have an idea of how I can restore this database.
Thanks,
Pierro

SOLVED
Finally,
I made a new backup with PIMBackup, and install again the rom, and restore my contacts, and the calendar is ok now.

Contacts cab

If any of you are flashing whores like me ou may have to backup and restore contacts over and over again. I was wondering if there was a way to make a cab file that would restore the contacts. This would be perfect when flashing roms with shashimi or user customization.

You can use my Export-Studio app (see Sig) which can export your Contacts as VCF files (which can be run directly on the phone and imported into Contacts)...I plan on updating the app soon to enable backup of more contact features (more entries per contact) as right now it only really does the basics.
If not, you can always google some freeware backup and restore studio specifically for PIM data. There are bundles online if I recall correctly (of course, if not you can wait a bit for me to update my Export Studio).
Good Luck

PPCPimBackup

You could use Microsoft's MyPhone, I use it and works really good, can save SMS messages and pics as well.

Have a look for XML Provisioning and an app called Makisu. Of course to run the XML you'll still need to install an app, so it's no better if you don't want to install anything (?), though DotFred's Task Manager can restore the files if I remember right and that can run without being installed.

vcard expert available from the windows phone marketplace let me save all contacts from my wimo 6.5 HTC into a compact vcf file.
Then restored my contacts using the same program.
