Whic back up for WM5, can make a backup in the pc? If I am not mistaken Sprite and Spb back up only on the SD card.
Thanks
Sprite can back up to the PC as well. And Spb may not directly back up to the PC (not sure), but there's nothing stopping you from copying the file afterwards?
ZeBoxx,
Have you become my personal tech support? heehee :roll:
In the end you will start asking for money
Thanks man
Yes I can copy, but I would prefer to avoid copying, since I am a backup freak, and I almost backup everyday. I did not see that option in Sprite, will look closer, thanks again

I use Sunnysoft Backup Manager which backs up to either main memory or SD card, and also includes a PC backup utility which if I'm right can restore a backup to your phone over Activsync.
You have to copy the backup on the phone to the PC first, though.

Hope this helps.

With Sprite, at least the beta I've got, you actually run an app on your desktop. It will remotely reset the PPC (the PPC will prompt you about it), perform the backup to the desktop, and I think resets again. Haven't run it in a while

Thanks a lot

I've been using XDA II since Dec '03 and I like this device, but I am having problem with backing up my programs installed and data (contacts, calendar, etc)
Is there a way to backup all of installed programs and data to my hard disk.
I tried using Xbackup to my SD card but failed.
Does anybody know how to backup it all to hard disk (notebook) so when we have to hard rest (pressing the on/off button together with the reset button) we can restore the programs and data from the hard disk.
Thanks in advance.

Use ActiveSync to back up to harddisk. Just put the XDA in the cradle and wait for the sync to complete. You then have access to the backup menu item.
For a more effective Pocket PC application, take a look at Sprite Backup:
www.spritesoftware.com/downloads/SpriteBackup23PreRelease.zip
This program can create an .exe file on your SD card, containing all settings, programs and data.

Anyway I can easily copy my contacts to my SD card before i hard reset so I can copy them back afterwards???
You mean OTHER than using ActiveSync and Outlook????
Technically Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 can do it, though when performing my text backups I've always found that the Contact feature causes problems.
Pocket Informant or ContactBreeze probably has those functions, also.

Just copy the pim.vol file at the root of your file system to SD. Use the internal file explorer to do this. Do not use resco.
To restore, rename the pim.vol pim.old before copying the old file to the root. Soft reset after this. Don't use any other program than internal file explorer or it won't work.
thaihugo, thanks that was the answer I was looking for

Problem with me (and perhaps many other) is that i chagne from on rom to other rom every day. im tired of backing up and restoring contacts from SD card. so i am instrested in a software that can save contact to SD card and search and load a contact from sd card again directly.(it my dream it may not be possible). but i hope at least someone may come up with a solution.
wow a reply after 6 years . as far as i can remember the good old WM times, DotNetFreds PIM Backup was the! solution for backup&restore questions.
I have a Wizard (Cingular 8125) and use SPB Backup, but I want to back up the Storage Card to my desktop. I'd also like to back up the Wizard on my desktop.
I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. Is this possible? I have Total Commander which I can use to copy it over, but that doesn't let me do it either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
May you should try a different software for backups.. My favourite is Sprite BackUp (http://www.spritesoftware.com/)..
Another possibility to backup your SD-Card is to use a cardreader..
Have you tried to copy your SD-Card using the explorer?
I noticed that Activesync 4.2 no longer seems to offer the possibility to make a backup of your device to your PC. So I am looking for a reliable (and possibly freeware) program that will allow me to backup all RAM and settings to the device's SD Card...

I use sbp backup, does exactly what you're asking.
So, I've never had to use Titanium Backup's restore, although recently my LE I/O tab soft-bricked and I had to flash a new ROM, which, I think, formatted all my user data, which I assume is where TB saves it's backups since there is no SD card on this version... I hadn't actually installed TB on the device yet, so I didn't have any backups, but I will never let that happen again, if I can help it. Losing everything sucked.
So, that said, what is the best workflow for backing up and restoring applications and settings when there is no SD card on a device?
Check out Titanium Media Sync
Let's you sync your back-ups to the cloud via drop box or FTP.
So even if your phone is run over and the SDcard (internal or removable) is destroyed; you still have your back-ups.

Awesome. I actually found out the Pro version of TB has built-in support for synchronizing with Dropbox. I now have my entire tab backed up in the cloud. Hopefully I'll never have to use it
