it seems to me that due to the storage and memory structure of WM2005, this may not be possible, however i find it a major drawback over WM2003se, as it used to be possible to store contacts and such on ROM so you could always recover them should you have a hard reset..
what if JASJAR craps out someday? i'd probably have to wait till i get a chance to get to a PC and sync my contacts and calendar again :\
someone please tell me i'm wrong
Hi...
I have been running a XDA II for a number of months with WM5.0 installed.
The contacts/calendar informtion is stored in a file called "pim.vol" held in the root of my device.
you can copy this file to your sd card any time you need as a back up for your data.
Should your device "crap out" and you need to restore this file, simply rename the pim.vol file in the root to something else, copy your backed up pim.vol back to the root and soft reset.
This works fine on the himalaya with wm5.0 so should work on the universal.
Hope this helps
thanks for the tip steverae..
now i wonder if it's possible for WM2005 to read this file directly off an SD card, or perhaps the extended rom (less likely)
This may help to back up any data
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.

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
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.
Cheers

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.
ok, so in my attempt to format my SD card at 4 am because of corrupted data, i accidently went to CLEAR STORAGE under SYSTEM and i guess i just formatted my device =\
now i have 2 problems. how do i format my memory card and is there a way i can restore my contacts at all? Activesync help says go to BACKUP/RESTORE but i dont have that under TOOLS for some reason. i think i have a backup of all my files in my ACTIVESYNC dir and DOCS AND SETTINGS.
i really messed up this time. someone please help.
thanks in advance.

I you have previously synced your contacts with Outlook through ActiveSync all you have to do is to Restore your contacts is to connect your device to your computer and the contacts are autmatically sent to your device. If you also want to sync all other files from your active sync folder on the PC back to your device you could to this: After you sync for the first time, ActiveSync will probably make a new ActiveSync-folder, using the new name of the device. Go to the old AS-folder and copy all files. Paste those in the New AS-folder a sync again.
i resyned and it kept the same ACtivesync name, but none of my information came back! im screwed!!!!
how do i format my miniSD card? it is corrupted and File Explorer wont let me delete the info and my laptop wont detect the card with the SD adapter.
Help!
Hi, a few hours ago i have done a backup of the "memo" folder from internal storage after doing a backup of all notes in aplication. A lot of files named like "2_scr" were created, the same number that notes we have.
After this, i have done a reset of the phone, but when i put the old memo folder on internal storage, the aplication "Notes" dont show me the restore option, its like the app is not recognizing notes.
I have important information on the notes, how can i restore the notes or see the content (in a pc or similar)?
Please, its very important..
Thanks in advance.
