You have multiple options and it depends on what you exactly want to keep.
All contacts, apointments and tasks are stored in the pim.vol on the root of the ppc.
1) Just copy this file on your sd card using resco explorer. or from Windows Explorer via ActiveSync. If you have to make a restore, just rename the pim.vol in the root directory, copy back your backup, do a soft reset and delete the renamed file.
2) use spb backup from spbsoftwarehouse and select PIM only.
3) use ppcbckpcontacts which will create a csv file, that you can edit on your pc with Excel.
Cheers,

restore data from pim.vol file

I've been flashing my vario ii for ages now and normally. just resync with my outlook to get my contacts etc back.
HOWEVER, the last time i flashed my phone with the latest wm6 rom, i didn't back up before. so i have a copy of the pim.vol file on a storage card, but when i copy this back over the original in \my device\ and reboot the phone, my pim apps won't start and my phone will not connect to a t-mobile.
I need some data from this pim.vol file, can it be accessed with anything else ?

I would try to flash back to the ROM on which the pim.vol file was originally created.

Easiest way that I figured out to do it was to copy the pim.vol file to the SD card (in mycase microSD card) then go into the file explorer on the phone and goto the root directory and RENAME the current pim file to pim2 and then copy and paste the one with all my contacts from the SD card to my phone, viola, all my contacts are on there now

I did that on my tilt 2, but now my entire contacts are gone with either PIM.VOL
It doesn't recognize either one.
UPDATE: I reset it and all of my 1200 beautiful names and calls and everything else showed up.
Thanks again

Backing up and restoring the Pim.vol on win 6.5 Tilt2
To backup the Pim.vol I just connect the phone (til2) to my laptop.
The file is located at the root of the device emory. From my Laptop just with Windows Explorer I just copy and paste to my laptop and to the external memory microSD (double backup)
If the one if your phone goes bad, restore with file explorer. Rename pim.vol to pim2 and copy and paste the one on your external memory microSD to the device memory. Or get the one in the laptop.
RESET the phone and all you names and calls will be there.
Good luck

[Q] view stored memos on previous nandroid backup?

Hey guys,
asked this question in the wrong section so I'm asking it here.
Is it possible to extract an old nandroid backup to view memos I may have had?
I don't want to restore the backup, I know something in it is wrong as it would freeze on bootup after I tried a restore, that isn't important. What is important is there were memos stored on that backup that I need back.
I used unyaffs to extract system.img, but everytime I try and extract data.img (which is where I'm guessing the memos are stored) I get a popup in windows 7x64 that says unyaffs.exe has stopped working.
I copied data.img off my sdcard and am trying to extract through windows terminal.
Can someone tell me if I am correct in thinking the memos would be stored in the data.img and where they might be located and why I am unable to extract data.img?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Backup Changed to .zip File??

I was doing some changes to my phone so i did a backup and then copied the backup directory from the phone to my PC to save it. The backup was under /clockworkmod/backup/Jan312013.
I copied that directory (Jan312013) to my PC not even realizing when it copied it, for some reason it changed it to a zip file??? Now i have Jan312013.zip and have no idea how to copy that back to phone to restore?? If i open the zip it has all the files that would normally be in the backup directory but of course recovery does not recognize a zip file for backup.
Thoughts? Help? Thanks.

What version of CWM, if that's what youre using? I just used 6.0.2.3, and i believe there's an option to backup as .zip. Maybe you accidentallychose that method?

Restore some WhatApp media files from Nandroid Backup

Greetings Folks!!! :highfive:
I have taken a CWM backup of my phone when it was on 4.2.2 version ROM, before installing a new 4.4.4 ROM. Now, I want to extract a particular picture (probably a .JPG or a .PNG file) from the WhatsApp media folder (located on my internal sdcard) from that CWM backup. I don't really want to restore the whole backup or even the WhatsApp App+Data to get that file. I have installed Nandroid Manager, which can browse the backups, but I don't know where to navigate to extract that picture file. Can someone advise on this, please? Thanks.

GO to sdcard/whatsapp/media/whatsapp images enjoy dnt forget to click on thankx button.

Thanks for the response @Preshak . But I think you misunderstood my query. I know the location of the WhatsApp media folder. The issue is that I took a CWM backup of my phone (it was on version 4.2.2) and then formatted it and installed version 4.4.4. In this process the internal SDcard got wiped, including all the WhatsApp media files. But I believe those should be in the CWM backup. Hence wanted to know where in the back folders would I find the WhatsApp media files.

Sorry to say bro but u cant.
As cwm or twrp dnt backup your sd card data. Excluding android folder..
