Backup / Restore Failing

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

unsuccessfull SPB Backup.....

In the end of the process it sais Unable to read from file "\Windows\lic\lsoma.db" and the backup ends up being not successfull as I'm not able to run the backup executable file to restore the unit. Please help.
I had that error when spb backup was only partly installed i.e. I had reset my device and just made a lnk to the program. I think it may throw up that error if the program is intalled on the storage card too. Have you been messing with memaid or deleting startup links? - that can mess up spb backup.

Restore SMS (.csv file)

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.

Sprite Backup not working afte re-load

Hi all
Recently my laptop was reloaded and Sprite Backup was not included. I still had the program on my Touch but could not backup on my pc. I have now removed sprite from my phone, and reloaded the files from the CD which came with my purchase.
The program loaded sucessfully on my pc and phone (or so it said) but the following problems are now encountered:
Firstly when I choose the Icon on my phone the spinning loading icon appears but then disappears again and nothing happens;
When I try to backup via the pc the following happens:
- an error message on phone with the heading "Localizer" and the text "Error (1) - loadstring failed for 65288", then phone switches off after pressing the X on the message and after restart the message (under heading "Sprite Backup") appears: "Invalid command line parameter".
I have tried to re-do the processs to no avail, can someone please help me as I cannot backup my phone currently. Also please note that I have 2 Sprite Backup icons (one with a (1)) which do not disappear after program removal.
Please help someone?
delete all files and registry keys belonging to sprite backup
do not try to keep any settings of your sprite backup installations
delete sprite backup folder under \storage card\program files and if there is from under \program files
all necessary files will be installed, so do not think of keeping of any extra useful files from older versions (or backup them to somewehere else before installation)
delete spriteres.dll from wherever it exists ( \windows, \program files\sprite backup, etc)
reinstall
all will be ok

Pim Backup

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
