backup data (SMS, ...) from WM2003SE to WM5 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi, there is a way to backup my sms' and other things (also if the only thing I want to backup is the sms') (and mms, if possible) from WM2003SE to WM5?
I wanted to upgrade my 9090 to WM5 rom, but I need to backup these data. I don't have Outlook so I can't export sms with activesync,..
There is a way?
Let me know guys,
Bye,
Ethaniel

Jeyo Mobile Companion works a charm!

thank you mate, i'll have a look as soon as possible
It also backups sms and mms?
Bye,
Federico

jeyo doesnt do backups.
I am facing similar prob. I dont use windows but just for this task i'm installing Windows XP/Office and then active sync 4.2. Blows!

It doesn't backup? What a pity..
Anyway, I installed it now but doesn't read SMS in folders I created under Inbox, and then can't read mms (i think it's normal, as the app is ArcSoft MMS Composer, not integrated in the os)..
So can we have a solution? Sprite doesn't backup from 2003 to 2005, i asked to Technical Center.
In the way you said Can i backup sms, and MMS correctly?
or if possibile it'll be useful to know where MMS Composer stores MMS database to restore it back in WM05.
Any possibility for us?
THank you,
Federico

well, surprise, surprise, cursed activesync doesnt sync SMS messages to desktop. smsbackup / smsorganizer simply crashes. POS. I'll post here when i find something that works.

Hi,
the program can not restore the SMS, but you can install
the software on your new wm 5 device and copy the file
"mailbackup.cdb" from your old device to you new device.
Then you can view the sms.
Kai
This what the company of the program told me just now...
Maybe I'll try..

Jeyo DOES do SMS, but I don't think it does MMS.
I use it all the time when upgrading/downgrading ROMs.
However, it doesn't backup other data such as settings and internet options etc.

Backing up SMS/MMS inbox possible?

I was wondering if it's possible to copy my received sms/mms messages to my PC? There doesn't seem to be an option in Activesync.
I used to use this program: www.mobiledit.com to backup my messages on my old Motorola V3, but that program doesn't (yet) support smartphones, typical!
So if someone could tell me HOW, or if there is any 3rd party software that can do it?
Thanks!
Apparently Kai's Mail+SMS Backup .Net will do it.
I've never used it though.
I think this is the sort of functionality that should be pre-built. The ability to export any settings and messages to a data-file on a PC (or the storage card) ready to be restored after a hard reset/ROM upgrade.
I use Jeyo Mobile Companion to backup sms, unfortunately it cant handle mms.

Ahh that looks like just the thing im after, thanks! Pity it doesn't support MMS though I wonder if that's planned in a future release....
EDIT: Damn i just looked again, and the latest version was released in August 2004! :'(
I'm looking for a solution for transfert mms from a device to an other with arcsoft MMS composer ...
Well i can see a directory named "UAContents" in the My Documents directory that apparently contain all mms file but if i copy it to the new device nothing appear in the inbox or all other folders
is somebody make this successfuly ?
Jeyo pwns.
esp. with Outlook 2003... (yes, something actually works properly and flawlessly with a Microsoft product !!)
Yah that's what im using now, and i agree, it actually WORKS lol!
Although my phone has started to do strange things lately... resulting in the loss of my texts and e-mails...... i just hope it isnt linked to Jeyo!

How do you get txt messages to Orbit from MDA Compact II?

Hi guys,
I have gotten most of my setting over to this great phone but I am having a problem with finding a way of getting my old txt messages to my new handset.
I don't really wanna forward them on as they will not state who they were originally from.
I have tried to backup the messaging folder using Sprite backup and all that did was put the txt messages there but I lost the folders and ability to use MMS.
Can anyone suggest where I may find the files (texts) and where then to replace them on my new handset?
Ok free bump anyone know how to help with this one?
Pocket pc's save them to phone memory and read from there, unless you have a special program to do otherwise ;-)
No I have no program to do this, all I want to do is copy the old messages from my old handset to the new one.
I have tried to copy to the sim then back to phone but my old MDA Compact II does not have that option.
Does anyone know where on the phone they are stored so I could copy them over etc?
There is no simple way to copy sms messages - if you try copying the contents of your messaging folder they do not appear under text messages.
Search and you will find my friend - if you did you would of found this:
Jeyo mobile extender http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
It will copy messages to outlook on pc then you can sync with new device
or smsOrganizer v2.10 for WM2005/WM2003SE where you can also backup your texts. http://www.zedsoft.net/
Thanks Mark just uploaded Jeyo mobile extender and it does all I am looking for so I'll enjoy the trial and may even end up buying it?

If you follow the Upgrade mode FAQ, step by step here
https://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/...earch=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0&start=0
you should be able to restore the sms messages to your MDA Compact II
Note you should make a full backup, not just the email database, but all databases
Thanks for that its good to know wish I had seen this before as I had to load everything from scratch.
Can recommend Jeyo mobile extender has a few things they can improve on but is great for txting from keyboard (PC)

Help! want to keep SMS while perform "sync"

I would like to ask ....
do you know how to make the SMS (received & sent) to be sync together to the PC?
I'm using Soft Bank X01HT WM6
Thanks for your suggestion.
There's no way to save sms msgs thru activesync, but you can use PIM backup that I know does it ... Im sure some of the other ones like SpriteBackup and SPB backup may do it as well.

Save SMS to storage card

This may sound stupid... its me saying it
with all this rom upgradin I always seem to loose my SMS messages - even when I do back them up.
on symbian phones there is an option to save sms to Storage card by default.
Ive searched the forums and the rest of the net for a Windows mobile solution but cannot find anything... anyone aware of a reg key that can be tweaked or anything?
alternatively, which backup software works properly in 6.1???
How on earth did you lose your sms (or anything) after backing up?
I still have my sms backup from 2004. Give "PIM Backup" a try.
Pim Backup doesnt seem to work correctly on 6.1 roms... maybe it was just the version I have been using... still think it would be a funky feature tho...
PIM Backup is hit or miss with me using wm6.1..Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so I normally just delete them and restore again until it works right..

Ah, I misread your post, didn't see the wm6.1 part, sry. Have you try other options like sms organizer or jeyo?
I've tried Sprite backup and also PIM backup... I'll figure one out... but think SMS direct to SD would be an amazing feature...
Yeah I also had problems with PIM backup. I often ran out of memory before it could finish restoring. When it finally worked, it took over 4 hours to restore just my inbox.
I'm trying http://www.zedsoft.net/index.php?php=fullview.php&id=1 now
Jeyo SMS Backup 1.1 works on all WM6.1 I tried.
Jeyo mobile, works every time - get it!!!!
Do the ones u guys are suggesting they put the txt back in threaded correctly and everything? and if so got a direct link?

How do I backup my SMS's

Hi there.
I have quite a lot of SMS's on my MDAII that I need to backup.
How do I do this?
Thanks.
Gyc
this morning I read your post, I thought about a application Microsoft recently made, myphone or something. It syncs your sms to a webservice, linked to a live account. You can also see the sms online.
After a week or so I got problems with this one, it slowed done my phone terribly!
but a minute ago I read about SMSSyncUp! It is from mohitsapru here on this forum. It syncs you sms to gmail, probably better then live ;-) I have not yet tried it, only installed it.
oh by the way, those are for if you want to read your messages via another way, there is also PimbackupPPC, can automatically backup all of you PIM into a compressed format!
