I did a backup and it saved it as pim.vol. When I did a restore, I browsed for the pim.vol file and it doesn't see the file. I am trying to restore my contacts. Any help with this program? Thanks

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.

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

Anyone please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!!
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.
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.
