After 3 weeks of loading and testing software on my QTEK 9000 I had a problem with the queue file being emptied and no new notifications occuring. I backed up the PIM info and system databases etc to SD using sunnysoft backup. Then a hard-reset and reloaded all programs.
Now I want to restore the messages but not the corrupted queue files but if I restore all the \cemail files they don't show up in messages. Do I need to restore some of the other mxip files?
Many thanks for any advice, cjb.

Just wanting to know the location of where the contacts are stored when theyre on the phone?
For example, the text messages are stored in Windows > Messaging.
Thanks
Where are the contacts stored
all PIM data (contacts, appointments, tasks) are stored in the file 'pim.vol' which is located in the root entry.

How to Manually Backup your Contacts, Appointments and Task or the PIM in WM2005?
Look here:

you also can use Sunnysoft Backup Manager to save all your data. You only have to rename the pim.vol to something else before restoring the data.
Wolfgang
presumably cemail.vol is the mail, will this work as well?

Flubster,
if you can copy the file to another place it should work also.
Wolfgang
Just to say cemail.vol cannot be copied via file manager, resco file manager or windows. Any other way to get this file?

OK, I wanted to backup the SMS's which was the main reason I wanted to backup the cemail.vol file. In the end I used the BackupSMS from a dopod WM2005 extended ROM and that worked fine

Hi all,
I know this is a repeated and common problem, but I have to post this anyway.
this is the 3rd time that my Messaging in my wizard stops working for know clear reason, I can't read incoming sms, I can't send sms anymore.
I need to backup my sms file because it contains very important information, but cemail.vol can't be copied to another location...
What to do please???????????
Mohammad
use a backup program such as spb backup
and all the mails and sms are actually sotred under \windows\messaging as *.mpb files.
Those you can copy and rename as eml for mails or txt for sms.
the databases in cemail.vol is made up of pointers to these files
I found this quite by chance following a post of mine that never got any answer
Is it possible to backup only SMS's and not emails???
SPB Backup doesn't provide an option to backup specific Messaging Accounts
I want to hard reset my Exec, to clean up things and run my SBA Backup to restore my settings...\
Question> Will I loose my Qtek Rom?
Question> What should I backup to the SD before the reset?
How do I find the PIM.VOL file to copy my contacts///?
THANKS ALOT FOR HELP
1. No, ROM is not effected
2. Download SPB Backup and backup PIM and email
3. PIM.VOL is located on the root folder, it can be copied to SD using the built in file explorer. It contains your contact, calendar, tasks etc.
Did restore with SPB Backup... Everything is back! \ KUDOS SPB!!!!!
Hi,
I had to do a hard reset on my HTC Touch and i couldnt backup my messages before that. But i do have an file with all messages in it on my Mac via Missing Sync... messages.csv
Is there a way to get these messages back on my ppc?
Thanx a lot in advance!
Can missing sync not restore the csv file it's backed up?
So what program made the .csv file, since you double posted the same question in the PIM Backup thread can we assume you used PIM Backup to create it? If so use PIM to restore it.
No, it was made with Missing Sync, but it's not possible to restore them with that program. Pim Backup also does not do the trick
Didn't think it supported that file type, but your post over there got me confussed, maybe you can find someone with MS Outlook and use that, MS Office has supported csv files for years. Anything beyond that, I don't have a clue, guess this will be a lession to start backing up your pda.
Hi. I am using the Sprite backup which I can download from the HTC site (SEA region phone). I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to backup ONLY calls/messages/contacts, e-mail would also be nice. Basically I want to keep my usage/call history/exchanges kept but I want system settings and such gone since I want to hard reset to see if I can get rid of certain funky behavior.
Thanks in advance to any who might be able to help (and even those who wish they could but are as clueless as I am).
Easy n' faster
I like this one, easy to use. You can backup & restore (Contacts including pictures, appt, messages, call logs, tasks, notes, etc). It has an option named "custom", so you can backup & restore files and even folders. Just copy zip file to your device, then unzip and run exe file. You won't see an icon in programs folder so I suggest you send a shortcut to programs folder. Enjoy.
