Hi guys,
I dont want to sound ignorant, but that 14mb or so we have left over for storge, is that permanent? (ie, after a hard reset, the data is still there?)
Also, I have checked my contacts, appointments etc to be permanentley saved. Does this mean that they are transferred into this 14mb storage area? To stay until they are manually removed?
The only reason why I ask is that I was pretty sure I saved my contacts to permanent storage b4 I did a hard reset, but they werent there once the XDAII reinstalled.
Yes, the Storage survives after hard reset. Did you use xBackup to save your contacts and appointments? If so, just return to xBackup to restore. They are not automatically restored on a hard reset.
And yes you can manually delete saved files etc. from Storage to make more space for the next time!
What about agendafusion appointments, etc? does xbackup recognise those as appointments when you back them up, or does agenda have its own backup procedure?
backup
I believe that they will be backed up. xBackup uses the default PIM database. I know for sure, that Pocket Informant uses the default databases (contacts, calendar, tasks) and these data are backed-up by xbackup.

Permanent storage does work with contacts, apointments, tasks & connection settings.
After soft-reset they get restored automatically
After hard-reset you have to restore manually by getting into the Permanent Storage app
Works like a charm

1) change your 14 meg to 30 meg using appropriate software
2) make backups using SPB Backup. don't rely on storage.
Hi all,
I've got this problem after hardreset my XDA.
Coz synchronizing isn't possible (with the partnership I've made before)
so I do a restore first (but some files can't be restored).
After that, it's possible to synchronize.
But... all data is gone No contact, no appointment.
Is it still possible for me to get it back?
not sure whether i understood your problem correctly, but you can use the PIM permanent store for contact, appointments and connection string. these are saved in the "permanent storage" and thus will survive hard resets.
hope this is what you're after :?:
hi rscerr,
do u mean "permanent storage" is folder "Storage\PerSaveBackup"?
here are some files, but they're all zero byte in size.
goto start >settings >system>permanent save and check the items you want to save permanently. (these will be saved in the permanent storage)
If you switch the unit after a hard reset, do the same again and the items selected will be restored.
sorry for replying so late
rscerr
Thanks for your tips..
I've never use this before.
Though my data has gone, but with this simple process,
I won't loose my data again
Thank you.
Just FYI.
Finally, I got back my contact, calendar, etc.
It's still in my desktop computer.
But the data is now located in 'Deleted Items Folder' in Microsoft Outlook.
Thanks.
Having migrated to Trinity's I wish to eBay my 2 X Prophets
How can I delete ALL Contacts & Calendar appointments?
I do not wish to Hard Reset the phones as I wish to sell them with TomTom & other programs installed
TIA

Deleting Calendar as well as Contacts
Athough the link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272996 allows the deletion of all Contacts, I needed to delete my Appointments yet leave various software installed, Hard Reset wiped them.
By using SpbBackup in 'Custom Backup' mode I only selected My Documents & System Data. Hard Reset the Prophet & restored from the Custom Backup file.
All software still works & no personal data; Prophet now on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280136214281
Is there any way to do this? I screwed mine up using Seven's contact syncing with Gmail (my fault, not theres... it was documented before I tried), but did create a backup with all the correct number types. I need to delete all the contacts (all 200 of them) but don't want to go one by one or hard reset?
Is there anyway to do this? Because "contacts" and "deleting" are such vague terms, searching leads to other things...
If not, guess it gives me an excuse to try another ROM
Option1: You can Sync it to PC' Outlook, Select all and delete in one shot on your PC' Outlook and watch it getting deleted automatically on your Pocket PC.
Option2: Use programs such as SPB Backup to take a complete backup, hard-reset, restore without contacts.
Feasible?

Very, Thanks.
I forgot PIM Backup (what I used to back them up) gives the option to delete existing contacts before restoring. I had never used that option before so forgot about it. Oh well... mark this one on the useless thread list.
Thanks for your help though, Carty.
I understand that a factory reset deletes EVERYTHING.
I know that SE sync can be used to backup contacts, calendar entries, bookmarks. Do you know if the contact backup stores profile pictures, links to facebook profiles, etc? Or does it just wrote text data?
I guess that the memory card should be backed up to my computer, to keep my photos, music, etc. Does that maintain Mediascape databases for album art, etc? Are there any memory card folders that should NOT be replaced after reset?
Are there any other backup tools that could reduce the efforts needed after a reset?
