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

hey guys just wondering,
if i upgrade my Himalaya after having run a full backup on my pc via activesync and then decide i dont want 2005 can i just restore it on my pc will it go back to 2003? thanks in advance

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
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
I, and some others on here, have run into a problem. With a proplerly syncing 8125 and using Activesync 4.1 or newer, installing third party software has caused us to lose our Activesync connections. An error message comes up which tells the user to check the Activesync troubleshooting guide. Four of us that I know of have run into this problem. We can still 'explore' our devices and we are 'connected' to our PCs, but we cannot sync nor can we install or remove programs. In fact, going into settings > system > add/remove programs, one no longer sees the installed programs in the list.
It appears the only remedy is to do a hard reset and start the process of creating a new partnership over again.
Here is my question. I will be getting a third party back up program (I was thinking about sprite - it appears to get better reviews then spb - feedback appreciated). I will backup my device and sd card. If the problem arises again, what do I do about the backup of the Activesync and the partnership that existed assuming the same problem arises? Do I restore everything or everything but the Activesync? Can someone help a newbie please?
Thanks in advance!
hello guys.
i have a little problem so i try this way because i didn't find any way to solve the problem myself.
i had a qtek s100 with xbackup and windows mobile 2003. the device now is smashed so i get a new one (a qtek s200) running windows mobile 5 without xbackup.
this things i did try in the past:
- activesync backup but this one it is about 6 months old and not useful for me
- getting a xbackup.exe and try to run with windows mobile 5 - didn't work because of incompatibility
one thing to say: i used the xbackup.exe from this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_4x/Cabs/Patch/O2Asia_patch_140921.sa.CAB
so it could be possible that the asian xbackup doesn't work right?
i get this errormessage when running xbackup on windows mobile 5:
"unknown backup information error"
the whole xbackup language appears in english
- try to run many pocketpc roms like pocketpc 2003 (in description of microsoft downloadpage it was named windows mobile 2003), smartphone 2003 and some other roms with the microsoft emulator included in embedded visual c++ and some sdk's. the file could just be opened with the windows mobile rom for smartphone (should be windows mobile 5?) but the program crash with the error message i wrote above..
i didn't find an emulator-rom wich is exactly the operating system like from qtek s100. it could be interesting for very much people to find the right rom that is working to restore xbackup's. could be an easier way to help someone with backup problems like me.
please help me because i really need my contacts and if possible but not really importent my sms-messages.
i hope someone can find the right rom-image for the microsoft emulator.
hope someone can help me (and many other people)
thanks!
Assuming the program Xbackup would work in WM5, you can't or must not restore a WM2003 backup file to a device running WM5.

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.
