activesync dont backup the rom only the data
but you can upgrade and if you feel like it restore a 2003 rom
and then restore the data backup from activesync

I have upgaraded mt xda to 2003, But I need to know how I can restore my 2002 data (i.e. contacts, calandar, notes, etc).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
All of your data should still be in Outlook on your desktop . ActiveSynch should dump it back onto youe xda...
Thanks for the reply.
Do I need to create a new partnership with my sync PC?
How about the installed applications, do I have to install them again?
You will have to reinstall your applications but that is easy from active sync.
You will need to delete the existing partnership and then create a new one unless you want to change the name of the partnership.
Hi everyone,
I just switched from a IIs to a mini. Did my backups onto my SDCard from the IIs. However when I tried to restore from the IIs to my mini, it failed. The whole unit just hanged...
Anyone tried this? or has a suggestion how to restore from a IIs backup? All my contacts are in the IIs backup :shock: If cannot restore then I am in deep trouble
WOW...think you are stuck. You are suppost to just create a new partnership from activesync from your desktop comptuer and outlook.
Guess if you don't have any of your contacts on your desktop/outlook then your only option would be to get hold of a XDA IIs again, restore, sync to the desktop and then sync to the Mini
You can't restore from a backup, different device.
If you can't restore back to your IIs then check out this post:

Thanks for the help! It works perfectly!
Is it just me, or does 2005 not let you backup your device? With 2003, there was an option in activesync to back up your device... which dissapears when I hook up my Prophet?!?
Yes,that's because WM5 has permanent storage,M$ tought Backup is not need anymore! Try using different Sync Program
Hi all. I've installed Activesync 4.2.0 and managed to connect my P3600 to it succesfully. The strange thing is, that there's no "backup/restore" option visible in Activesync to backup my PDA. This was working fine with my previous XDAIIi. Anyone know why this would be? Is is a P3600 specific problem?
Thanks for any info!

I think they (Micro$haft) removed it in later versions of ActiveSync
Not available for anything later than PPC 2003
Just found in the help that although the backup feature is still there, it will only backup PPC2003 or earlier devices. Windows Mobile 2005 does not allow backups. How bizarre! Anyone know of a decent backup-to-PC utility out there?

I use SPB Backup and there is also Sprite backup. These are probably the 2 best backup programs out there.
.... and does anyone know of any free backup utils out there
Hi,
Is there a programm that can backup the WM side to the HDD in vista?
On my TyYN II, I use Sprite backup before I start experimenting so that I can always revert totaly to the previous state if I screw up.
On the shift we can't acces the SD (yet) so I can't use that...
If there is a way to backup all installed programms and databases and settings etc. I would be more willing to try things on the WM side like trying out new cooked roms, programms and verifying solutions etc...
grtz

p.s. I did do a search, couldn't find anything. If my search wasn't thorouhg enough, please just point me in the right direction. Thanks
Maybe... just a thought.
I've never used a backup program on WM...
However a thought occurred to me...
Why not install the backup program, and establish a USB connection to VISTA.
VISTA can see the device, can the backup then backup to the VISTA side hard drive...?
Just an idea.
