Hello,
The problem is this: I just received my HTC Touch Pro 2. Before this I had a Diamond. I backed-up all the data inside the Diamond with Sprite Backup Tool before selling it expecting that I could restore the backup on my new Touch Pro 2.
It seems that I can't import the messages now. I am trying to restore all the data with Level 2 but I get this error: "personal database cannot be restored" or something like this. The other seetings/files are beeing restore (ex: owner information or any installed applications).
So right now I'm having a backup file. Does anyone know how can I get my messages out of that file?
Regards
For future purposes, use Microsoft myphone service. It's free and syncs all your contacts, sms, videos and music on their servers. When you upgrade your phone, you can easily sync all that data back to the new phone.
Or, you could download Jeyo Mobile Extender - works with Outlook in that you can sync, copy, import, export SMS to your heart's content...

Hi the_erk!

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

..so you get in setting>regional and change..and after it will be recognised!
Don't do a full restore, though. Only data. I found out that a full restore actually reverted the latest ROM upgrade, so I had to do a hard reset. WLAN range was affected.
connect the cradle
insert the Blue Angel in the cradle
Use GUEST profile
Full restore
Active sync will then restore it
BUT:
If you just upgraded ROM then it will restore old windows files and you will have to do a hard reset and you have to restore again just DATA
Joao Caldeira
If you perform a full resotre you WILL be restoring your oder SW version (ie: OS, radio stack, etc..)
You best bet is to install an app such as Pocketdb to export your databases and then import them afterwords.
If all you are concerned with is files, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, etc... then just perform a full sych with the device with your PC (files, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, etc...) and the resynch it after the upgrade.
Since it will be necessary to delete your existing partnership, do not delet the files, etc...

If you use Sprite Backup, there is a procedure on their forum to restore after an upgrade.
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.
Hi,
for years and years (well..3 maybe) I've used SPB back up on my devices. I only ever back up my contacts and messages as I've found the trying to do system details causes problems.
Just recently I've discovered (sadly) that SPB backup doesn't back up sub-folders that I've created in my SMS box (Saved, Logs, Important etc).
The advantage to SPB though is that it creates an executable and doesn't require me to install the software on another phone.
Does anyone know if PIM Backup will back up ALL of me SMS box? ok, so I would have to reinstall after a hard reset to perform the restore, but I'll have to live with that.
or, an alternative application perhaps?
thanks
What is the best method to backup from an existing Android phone and restore the data (bookmarks, Text Messages, phone log, dictionary, settings, etc.) into the EVO?
I have a G1, so when I apply a new Cyanogen ROM I take a complete backup of all my Apps and Data with MyBackup Pro onto my SD Card. After I've gotten the new ROM applied I download MyBackup Pro from the Market and restore some of my Apps and/or Data back into the phone. I restore the bookmarks, text messages, phone log, dictionary, etc. I don't restore the contact list because it's already synced with Google. Google does a good job of keeping my WiFi settings, so I don't have to re-enter that after a wipe.
Would it be best to do a complete backup as normal, and then transfer the backup folder structure onto the new EVO SD Card and then do a restore as I normally would?
I currently have the TP2 (windows mobile 6.5) so I'm not sure about the text messages, programs, etc... but for your contacts you can use google sync.
Just sign in with your google account, sync all of your contacts, get on the new phone and do the same.
This is what I am going to do since it worked so good when I loaded android on my TP2. I like to do it that way too because I have a google voice account
I used my MyBackup Pro for most of the info that I needed to transfer to the EVO. The only problem is with backing up all of the apps. It will install all of them but it can't transfer the data and market links yet since the Evo isn't rooted yet.

I'm NOT migrating from a Windows Mobile phone to an Android. I'm migrating FROM an Android to another Android. I already said that I don't restore my contact because Google sync takes care of that.

So, it looks like I should just restore as I originally stated in my post using MyBackup Pro. But, you have a very good point that I cannot restore some of my apps since the phone is not rooted yet (WiFi Tether).
