does anyone know where this is stored and whether it can be transferred to the card? every time I have to soft reset (too often) I lose all my user defined words (you know the ones!)

Lately whenever I reboot my XDA II I get the error below; ***I would prefer to keep this information in the calander to review at a later date any notes I made and contacts.
The backup region is full! Please remove some items and then reset the device; otherwise, the device will stop updating the backup process.
Help! 1. is their a way of changing to backup region to my SD? If not is it possible to increase the storage for the backup region?
2. Where is the backup region???
3. if their is a better way of keeping this information always available i am open to suggestions.
Xbackup on the xda2 isnt an automatic prodedure so it cant be that, the only thing I can think of is the "permanent save" feature, but I have no idea how to redirect the data, it uses non volatile ram I think, maybe somebody knows a registry hack for it.
if you mean the auto backup controled by the perment save in settings then no
it auto updates and as SD cards are removable it cant cope
use a stand alone backup tool if you want to do stuff like that

Hello Rudegar, thanks for the reply, actually after I soft reset it provide a window showing the calander synchro and after the synchro it gave that message. It is not a setting I made, I have burned a new ROM from the kitchen and it does not do this anymore but as can be seen from my last posting (Problem with powering off after burning new ROM), I have a new problem.
Having played around with the Extended ROM for a couple of weeks, I feel there is possibly a better option. Even thought all the applications install automatically theres still a lot of manual configuration. Another option would be to configure the Extended ROM to contain just the Sprite.cab file and a backup file. The config.txt file would auto install Sprite then start a restore?
Now to my question, for this to work I need to establish if Sprite has any command line syntax ie "Sprite restore \Extended ROM\Backupfile.bak"
that can be added to the Config.txt file.
If not Sprite are there any other tools available?
I'm not sure that would work too well, since it would not give you the opportunity to reconfigure the clock before launching the restore (any software). This would mean that all appointments included in the backup image would automatically trigger their alarms as soon as the restore completed (I've done this and it's a pain).
You must also remember that you only have about 14Mb to play with - I know that my backups are far larger than this and that's with most software installed to Storage rather than main memory (I have lots of contacts, etc.)
Hey you all!
Is it theoretically possible to restore passwords etc. (like log-in data stored in internet apps) after a hard-reset. Like this:
1) Android device - in my case a tablet running ICS - is used normally --> Logins, passwords etc. stored in browser
The device is locked with ICS stock lockscreen and a strong password
2) Device stolen
3) Device hard-resetted to bypass the lockscreen
4) Data-restore software is used to search the internal storage of the device
5) Data that have not been overwritten during the hard-reset can be restored --> the thief has my password, logins, etc.
I know that case is higly hypothetical and not likely to happen. But I would sleep better knowing the answer

if you have nandroid then you can restore data completely otherwise you cant until you made some kind of backup of those apps.
hit thanks if I helped.
No, I did not mean if I can restore anything after making a backup.
I meant if any criminal person stealing my device can somehow access my passwords after a hard-reset?
That depends on how and if you backed it up. If you made the backup to an external SD card then yes. If everything was internal then no.

No, I'm not planning to make a backup. I have installed only a handful of apps and use it primarily as pdf-Reader. An external SD card will not be installed. But I will also use it for surfing in the internet and that brings me to the question if my data are safely stored.
Do you know where/how (encrypted or plain text) Android or the apps store passwords and such data? I mean after a hard-reset or flashing, you have full access to the filesystem. I can imagine that it would be rather easy to scan the storage and unwipe/restore passwords - what I want to evite in any case.
I know the easiest thing to do would be to use the ICS device encryption - but unfortunately the encryption is not working on my tablet.
Here is my first post so, yes, I'm a total noob:
I own an unrooted Samsung GT-S7270, while deleting applications data to free up the memory off the telephone I mistakenly deleted the data of the calendar application S.Planner. I don't have any back up for it and I have too many notes in there not to try any possible mean to recover those kilobytes..
I understand the first step I have to take is to copy an image of the block the data is (was?) stored in using the dd command, then I will need root access to make a full copy of the given block and after this I'll start to run the image through various recovery tools until something eventually works.
I read it is possible to use the mount to determine the right block to back up, so I guess this is my first question: how can I determine which block I want to work on? Does someone know which file stores the data for the application S.Planner? How can I determine the previous location of that file if it has been deleted?
Usual disclaimer... I tried searching, I really did. Xda and outside.
Must be very easy but I am frightened block.
I had one phone that used a google account (account1) and stored there its backups.
I had another phone that used a different google account (account2) and stored there its backups.
I have no more both, and have a new dual SIM phone instead.
Switch on, ask for account, provide account1, apps restored with configuration. (account1 is primary account...; backups done to account1)
Set up account2, but find no way to restore apps related to account2. I see backups stored in gdrive for account2
I was thinking in
- removing account1 and account2 (was warned that contacts will be removed as sms; but not apps while those will lose access to data until I reconnect with account1 and account2 - as I read in www guidingtech com/what-happens-remove-google-account-phone/ (dots remove due to lack of karma to publish urls)
- login again using account2
Would this ask me for restoring backup of account2?
The other idea would be to change the account used for backups, from account1 to account2...
Would I achieve what I am trying by this way?
