Hi,
You can either use Sprite Backup or SPB Backup.

Microsoft MyPhone can back up all but the Footprints (I assume it doesn't do Footprints anyway), though it definitely does all the rest as it's what I use for going between ROMs Better yet, it should already be installed on your phone (or is easily downloadable from MarketPlace)
ms myphone mms backup?

hi, can you confirm that ms myphone service can backup mms as well? it will be life saver if it could do mms backup as it really did a great job for backup all other pim stuff
thanks

i planing to do a hard rest and maybe change ROM as well later.
and i wondering what software i should use to back up all the SMS (text meseges) including Sent items, Draft, inbox, out box etc.
i know SPB back up dose it all but how well will it work if i chenge ROM i dont think you shuld do Restore from back up after ROM change.
is there DataBase file i ce just copy and paste it later in the new ROM or after Hard reset ?
PPC PIM Backups
doesn't PIMBackup work on your device ? IMO it's a great piece of software, and it's free.
For me it's working great, use it often...
Cheers
sms (text message) backup
Just copy palmmsgv001 (in the windows folder on your device) to your memory card.
Alternatively I think SPB Back up (latest version) works as well.
My device an Atom Life WM 6 has locked up.
-the screen is locked up on windows boot image- cant control pocket pc
-soft reset battery pull anything i can think of does not help
-my safemode program isnt helping
Only option is HARD reset
Before I do that-
surprisingly can receive calls and sync over active sync
how can i back up the following:
- SMS - most important
- Contacts - second important
are there locations of these databases.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
pim.vol
Hi
The phone module is seperate from the rest of the operating system, hence being able to function when WM has stopped responding.
I think that these databases are in a file called pim.vol. I can't be sure though. Maybe some other members can advise about back up software that runs entirely on the pc. The latest version of Sprite Backup perhaps?
Cheers

If AS works then try Jeyo Mobile Companion, it runs purely on the PC and if it will connect then you should be able to export the stuff you need.
I copied over pim.vol but thats only contacts and tasks/appointments.
Anyone know the location of sms db.??
Unfortunately i do not have spb bakcup installed, dont think i can at this point.
I hope Jeyo works...
thank you
jeyo download sms's automatically.. but you will have to install a client side app.. if it doesn't do that automatically
just a suggestion for the future.
schedule a backup using PIMBackup2.8 to your storage card every once in a while..
the sms and emails are stored in "cemail.vol"
ok go here and install this http://www.mymobiler.com/
Once you have active synced your deivce, you can control it from ur PC
Then find and install PIM backup (using mymobiler). Then backup using PIM backup all your messages, contacts etc.
I find this better than using Sprite backup as this backs up registry too which might not always be a good idea when having problems. Its nice to have a simple PIM back up when needing to do a hardreset.

Me, very long way to go for that. Only been on here for 18 months when work decided they wanted to try something on WM5 phones. That didnt work out and I have snaffled one of them for myself. Have tried many things to get a finger friendly PPC and am as near it as I need.
Hi,
I had close to 300 contacts on my mobile until I got a new ROM update for Europe based HTC Diamond 2 systems. Once when I applied these changes, it wiped out all of my contacts with no trace...
I tried searching for options where I can store my contact details to my memory card but I couldnt find one option.
Can someone please help me as well as provide any other new alternatives to make sure that I dont loose my contacts the next time when I update my mobile...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Hey there,
Forget about trying to store contacts in other places, the best thing you can do before updating your phone in anyway is either backup your entire system using a good backup software such as Sprite Backup, or SPB Backup but this should NOT be used if changing ROMS.
What i always do is use PIM backup before a rom change. This free app backs up your contacts, emails etc and is simple to use and virually fool proof. I have enclosed the zip file for you, its a stand alone app, so just copy it to your programs folder or storage card and create a shortcut in your programs folder. (Thanks to its creator, such a brilliant app!)

awesome app mate... thanks a ton!!!
Hi,
Anyone knows of good software (free/paid) that can back up phone lists and messages safely and effectively?
Is synching the D2 regularly already doing the job of backing up the phone lists and messages?
Please advise!
Thanks
Hi,
As very common app you can use PIM Backup and it's free.
Much more efficient if you need to backup some others WM data, you can try Sprite Backup (just for PPC - do not need full release with pc). But it's not a free app except if you find an old version
So far I know, there is a possibility to get the one from HTC if you are alowed to download the app from their website with your IMEI. This app is close from the Sprite one
Take care of data
Thanks!!!
Thanks for your info!!!
PIM Backup ist just fine for Contacs and Messages etc.
I'm new to Sprite Backup, and not sure how it saves my sms. In custom backup there is only an option for email. where can i find my sms?
thx for help,
uxu
No one an idea ?
I haven't worked it out either so I use MyPhone to back up SMSs. That doesn't save MMSs though.

i use myphone too, but i don't realy like to have all the stuff online. According to the sprite backup website it saves sms, so why isn't there an easy way to show them ?
Thought I'd posted a reply here but now a little later I can't see it - well I am 64! Just in case I'll replay again (but damned if I know what I did witht eh earlier one!) I much simpler way I've found for maintaining backup and restore of SMS, appts etc is pimbackup - free download from here:
http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm
Recommended if you haven't seen it.
Thank you. I will take a look at PIM Backup. Otherwise, i like Sprite Backup. Hopefully someone knows where are sms stored
I did a bit of reading on this and SMSs are stored in pim.vol from what I understand.

that's a beginning. thanks
I've found SMS data in the file \My Documents\SMS.MSGS.xml on my HD2 as well. This file doesn't exist on my older Windows Mobile phone.
I'm just blundering around and don't have any particular expertise with Windows Mobile, but, as you say, it's a start. I've been looking for a way to selectively back up and restore SMSs, and in particular, MMSs for a while now. The best I've come up with so far is MyPhone, but it doesn't save MMSs; nor is it likely to according to the Microsoft MyPhone forum.

Mh, i didn't have that file.
searched the net and different sites say that the pim.vol is a database which stores contacts and stuff like that, but not the sms
SMS.MSGS.xml isn't hidden on my HD2 but it's worth checking.
The more I look into this, the more confused I get. Searching through my device I've found text from my SMSs in a number of places. SKTools is useful for browsing the databases on a device. In addition to the above, I have SMS data in cemail.vol. I suspect that this is the default store and that Pocket Informant and HTC's own application muddy the water. At least I'm able to back my SMSs up, even if I can't selectively restore them with Sprite Backup.
