I have just upgraded my V1606 to WM6 and reinstalled SpashID but my database was corrupt (both on device and desktop).
I have recovered a backup copy (from an SPB Backup of the WM5 ROM) and want to restore to the device.
The problem is the .vol files reside in the Databases folder and I can't overwrite the new files created in here from the reinstall with the ones from the backup?
How can I access the Databases folder to replace these files?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

I have created a backup using the ActiveSync backup utility followed by a hard reset. When I try to restore the .stg file i get the following message. 'Restore cannot be completed successfully. The selected backup file was created from a different type of mobile device. Am I missing something when I run either the backup or restore to cause thie error
You need to place the backup.stg file in the pda 's profile folder e.g (Using windows xp)Open explorer and put the file in
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\pocket_pc\
Hope this helps.
Make sure you have the Regional setting the same as what you have backup.
Use Sprite Backup,,, its great :wink:
I have the regional setting the same as the backup and the backup file is in the correct folder
if you changed rom version between the backup and restore it could be that
personaly i had some issues once because i took another timezone well it were still gmt+1 but the city's they listed were different then i changed it to the one i used when i did the backup and all was well
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
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?
Flubster
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

Question> Will I loose my Qtek Rom?

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!!!!!
I've been trying over the last couple of days to flash the TNT 1473 ROM to my 8125, but as I am running Vista, it's not working for me. The only XP I have available is on a virtual PC, and USB isn't supported in that environment.
So, my question is: is ther any way to convert an .nbf file to a .pbf file, so I could use sprite backup (v6) to load the ROM?
TIA,
Dave
I doubt Sprite Backup is not possible to restore Flash ROM....
Sprite backup (and SPB Backup) is used to restore user files only.
Hey there,
New to the cab creation, searched with no luck...
Is there a way to make a cab backup the replaced files and then restore them on app's uninstallation?
Or at least overwrite the installed files with backup ones already provided/installed by the cab?
Thanks.
