hi guys,

this only works on WM5.0 devices...

imagine if you are in a scenario that you want to hard reset your device and could not get access to any backup/restore software or any PC that can get back your Contacts/Appointments via Activesync, this is one way you can restore your contacts and Appointments back without any problem ...this is what you can do...


these are the steps to manually backup your PIM to your SD Card...

1. Open up your FILE EXPLORER
2. Go to root directory of your device
3. Then copy PIM.VOL...if you can't see it, just tap Menu then Show All Files
4. Then paste the PIM.VOL to your SD card
5. this PIM.VOL will be your backup file in case anything happens ...

To manually restore your PIM

1. Open up your FILE EXPLORER
2. Go to root directory of your device
3. Rename current PIM.VOL to something else like pim1.vol, pimold.vol or anything else
4. Copy the backup PIM.VOL that you already have in from SD card to the root directory
5. Wait for 15 seconds and then perform a soft reset

you can then manually BACKUP and RESTORE your PIM .. :smile: :smile: :smile:

I was wondering, does it apply to SMS? since there's a messaging folder inside the windows folder... are those all the sms?

Wow, this is a good tip... =)

No it doesn't apply to emails or SMSes.
For backing up of SMSes, you can use Jeyo Mobile Extender

or go for the complete backup solution in Sprite Backup or SPB Backup

I should imagine it does since these are both included under PIM too.

Much as I am quite patient, I am amused by this question.
