I have installed on my BA the latest version of Sprite Backup but it doesn't work. I am using w2005. Can you point me to a good backup tool that works on w005?
Thank you
SunnySoft backup manager @ zevink.com, it backsup everything except tasks, and contacts I believe.

Hi Guys,
is there any safe way to backup everything, data and programs. I looked up ACtivsynch, but backup/restore does not exist for 8525??
Is the the best way here to copy all data using Explore option and re-install all programs?
Backup via ActiveSync is not available for all devices using WM5 or WM6. More about backing up the device can be found here. Backups using commercial backup apps usually are not capable of ROM upgrade (Only Sprite Backup can do it and it is not working 100% for all ROMs). You can however save your PIM data (contacts, SMS, eMails...) using freeware PIM backup.
Has anyone successfully backed up and restored on a WM6.1 ROM (Bepe's kitchen, Tom's or Meschle's ROM's)
When I try on my cooked ROM (using Bepe's Kitchen - thanks Bepe, great tool!) using SPB backup I get the messages in the log file during backup:
2008-02-12 12:45:52 Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:12 Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:15 Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".
When using sprite backup I get prompted to restore in upgrade mode and it fails to restore my PIM and other databases.
Have I done something wrong in cooking my ROM? or are other people seeing this too. Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.
Thanks.
Matt.
No you haven't done anything wrong. The files above are related to PIM and SMS which are not backed up properly by SPB or Sprite' Backup applications on WM6+
I always use PIM Backup 2.5 additionaly to the above just to backup the PIM data.

Thanks Carty, have you managed to perform a full restore using both SPB backup (or sprite) and PIM Backup and still keep the activesync state so that all of the exchange data is not re-downloaded ?
can somebody give me a prog to make a backup of sms..mms..contacts..etc
thx
you can use sprite back up..it also back ups the systems
Backup
For backup you can use PIM Backup. I think this is the best backup app.
Just copy the exe in your device and Run.
(its a free software)

I see a few people mention problems with SPB backup.
With duttys new rom due soon, id like to back up before flashing.
I've used SPB and Sprite.
Most people are happy with either. Sprite is my preference for standard Backups and PIMBackup (available on this forum) I use for all my PIM data.
I'm not sure if SPB have developed the functionality to match Sprite's but Sprite allows you to restore Backups without having the app installed (i.e. Backups are saved as .exe's ).
Also Sprite, allows you to upgrade to another Windows version (and preserve your installed apps), though I've not tried this ever.
Hope this helps
ill give them a go, thanks
i'd recommend PIM back-up

I've tried searching, but I can't find any proper backup applications like you find on the HTC HERO. Can somebody recommend? Thanks. I am talking about photos, contacts, etc.
Sprite Backup
The best backup tool I have found is "Sprite Backup" ! I have used it several times after hard resets, and it works faultlessly! All my contacts and data totally restored, EVERYTHING exactly as it was at the point of backup!
contacts backup on WinMo 6.x
'vcard expert' lets you backup your contacts in a standard vcf file that can be used on your device as well as other phones. It's available from the windows phone marketplace and mobihand http://www.mobihand.com/47//product.asp?id=57272
