I'm getting ready to install my o2 WM6 upgrade. I understand that this will wipe clean my device's memory.
The problem I have is that I don't have Outlook on my PC, yet I really want to save my contacts and calendar entries - is there any other way to backup and restore after i've gone to WM6?

I have just updated my BlueAngel to WM5 but wish to copy my contacts across. I have backed up via xbackup within Pocket PC 2003.
But noticed there is no xBackup within WM5
Also just wanting to know if there is a more modem Bluetooth Software for this WM5.
Another thing is I noticed that I don't have ExtROM Version: (nothing). Is this correct?
Regards
Scott
When you install wm2005 you format you EXTROM because you no longer need it. And xBackup isnt for WM2005 but there is this program I uploaded on zevink.com called "SunnySoft Backup" in downloads/useful apps, skim through and download it, it lets you backup your system in WM2005!
Will "SunnySoft Backup" allow you to restore "Contacts" back from xBackup?
Look at this... If you want to backup your Contacts, Appointments and Task try this link
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=41
And if you want to backup your sms try "dopod SMS Backup or SunnySoft Backup Manager"
SunnySoft will get everything but contacts, calander, tasks, and stuff in that nature, it gets your registery, your applications, your data, your files etc.

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.
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.

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...
hi guys,
is it possible to restore a complete backup done on my P3600 wm5 on the same device upgraded with dopod wm6?
... the mosto important thing is the message database...the rest are apps that i can re-install again.
bye

No, isn't possible.
is it possible, that i can restore only the database (adresses) from WM5 to WM6?
Should be able to restore address book / contacts / documents / appointments / emails.
Just not system data/settings
But if you include those in your Sync settings just do a Sync before and after you upgrade. no need to do a restore.
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.
