I don't use Outlook, so I previously used to use Sunnysoft Backup to regularly archive the PIM databases (calendar, contacts, tasks) from my old XDA II. I have just traded it in for a Dopod 900 (XDA Executive). All is good - except - how can I get the PIM data from the Sunnysoft backup file and into my Universal?
I see that the databases are different between WM2003 and WM5. I suspect that some of you will have come across this situation and will be able to suggest possible solutions.
TIA

Hi!
Since you're using SunnySoft BackUp Manager have you written in to SunnySoft regarding this issue? May be they can help
As for myself I painstakingly key in every contact from my O2 XDA II to my QTEK 9000 since I'm not using Outlook too. Lucky I don't have 5000 contacts to key in
FOSA,
Yes, I have written to Sunnysoft about this issue, just haven't received a response yet. For the benefit of other users I will post it on this thread when I do. Meanwhile ... suggestions please !
Thanks,

Hi All,
I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologise for repeating the question, but please can anyone tell me how I can syncronize or save my SMS's from my XDAII to my desktop PC so I don't loose them when I upgrade the Rom or do a hard reset.
I cannot believe they did not think about including this functionality, my old PDA running windows CE 1.0 was able to do it so why O2/Microsoft didn't think people would want to be able to do this is beyond me!
I have figured out if you copy the Messaging folder you get som of the sent sms's as *.mpb files which you can open in notepad but this is really an acceptable solution and I only seem to be able to see the sent SMS's not the received ones.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

someone in other post as said that doesn't work on wm5 devices..
it's true?
nope thats wrong.
I have used it for 6 months. The only hassel i had is after i installed my pc and outlook every time again i got a different hardware ID. So i used to write to Jeoy everytime i reinstalled my system to get my valid copy to work.
Sometimes the addon hangs and crashes Outlook but this are minor bugs. Nice tool so far, i have missed it to backup up my last sms. Oh and you can send sms out of the pc if the PDA is connected via active sync.
I recommend that tool.

Falk
Fantastic!
it works! many many many thx
Also works with some "cosmetic error messages":

I have just moved up to the Charmer (Compact 2) and was wondering if there is an easy way to copy all contacts from my BA running Windows Mobile 2003 SE to my Compact running Windows mobile 5. I know I can probably use infrared/Bluetooth but was hoping for a straight drag and drop. Any help as always appreciated.
Thanks JD76
I would suggest that you do a active syn to your Outlook in your PC for easy and sure transfers of your contacts.
Another way is to save your contacts on the SIM. Read

Or, save the PIM into your SD card. However, I'm not sure if this works for cross platform from WM2K to WM5. Read

Thanks Hamin much appreciated. You pointed me to a couple of good links. Nice to know the true spirt of the group still exists. By checking the links out it may be possible to copy all my data from my BA to my Charmer, including txt msgs etc? This is very much appreciated. Thanks again...JD76
Harmin thanks but checked out the links. The contact copier only applies to WM5 so can't copy from 2003 to WM5 also on my BA has the ability to backup contacts using a program but my charmer does not have a tool for restoring my contacts..so back to the drawing board. Thanks JD76.
Hi all,
Can I export, in some way, the SMS's and the contacts from WM5 to WM6? (but the sms are more important, because contacts can be rewritten in a few minutes).
I used SPB Backup for backing up data in WM5 but I don't know if it will restore it into WM6 environment.
Thank you all,
Eth
I just installed the T-Mobile test ROM for WM6 on my handset and tried to restore from smb backup and it 'kinda' worked.
Contacts in WM6 crashes unfortunately.
I'm switching back to the TM factory WM5 rom so I can get my contacts back before upgrading to WM6 again.
Contacts are much more important for me as this is my business phone!
Would be interested to hear if anyone knows a way to do this other than manually!

Thank you my friend, I'll copy those manually...
And What about sms/mms?
THank you,
Eth
Yes, ACTIVESYNC!
Isnt a good ideea to restore contact or something else from a backup when you upgrade the phone to a different version of OS.
Just sync your contacts in WM5, flash WM6 and sync again; you'll get all the contacts back.
For PIM backup-restore see this:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pim-backup-v2-2.html
you can use a pc software,Jeyo Mobile Companion21.It can export all the contacts and sms to an XML file on your disk.and it can also import them to your Phone.The XML file can be import to any kinds of Windows Mobile systems.
I found PPCPIMBackup did the job very efficiently for me (didn't quite get MMS messages entirely right though)

Thank you,
I tried Jeyo companion when I flashed from 2003 to WM5 and I was unable to restore sent messages, the content of the sent messages was blank.
Activesync? maybe, but i don't have outlook or other software of the ms office suite..
I check out PIM Backup, thank you all
