Please advice,
After backing-up my Qtek 1010 (complete backup) to a SD card, and restoring it after a Hard Reset, I lost all my settings for Quick Dialing...could someone advice of the name to the Quick Dial base file, so next time I'll simply copy it manually from time to time.
Thx.

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.
Hello,
I have a SPV M1000.
When the Primary battery and the backup battery are empty, I lost all my configuration.
I would like to know if there is a software (Solution) which make an image of the configuration and then I can put it on a SD card in order to restore all configuration, files, etc...
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Sure, there are a couple of solutions.
First, the back-up application (XBackup) installed on the device actually works, just do a back up to your SD card.
Secondly, Active Sync can do a complete backup (and restore).
You really should make a back-up using both of these apps. I keep a seperate 128 MB card for backup purposes, just in case my primary SD card gets corrupted.
Finally, Sprite Backup, a commercial thrid party application works (providing you use a pre-release of version 2.3). This is the fastest of the options and the one I use.

Contacts duplication after back-up
Thank you for illustrating all of these back-up methods...
When using them, do you get the problem of duplicating contacts and change of datestamp on all the PIM application when you try to syncronize again? Is there a way to avoid it?
I'm currently having this problem with XBack-up and the Active-Sync back-up utility...
Thanks,
Chris
:?: I think I have done my homework, having searched the Forums for help here, but I am still boggled.
I enjoy trying out the new ROM's and Radios as they come out, but am tired of resetting everything on my machine after each upgrade/downgrade. I understand that it is unsafe to backup and then restore to a different ROM version, but need some stratgey to minimize continued reloading and resetting everything each time I upgrade/downgrade.
Questions: If changing only a Radio Stack version, leaving the ROM and EXT ROM versions unchanged, can I do a full backup and then restore safely?
I am also confused as to what the best, most complete backup method might be. I have too many options. Backup in Activesync, import expoert databases, xBackup or Permenant Save on XDA II, .reg backup from reg editor?
Is there another program that is better than any of these options?
Would one of you XDA II Wizards help out us novice apprentices and post a tutorial explaining the real story about backup/restore when switching ROMS and Radio Stacks? Your efforts would be appreciated.

I think the best backup/restore application is the Sprite Backup.
I have ab. 65MB in my XDAII memory.
the backup time to 256SD card
- with xbackup: ab. 45-50 minutes
- with Sprite Backup: ab. 15-20 mins
the restore time with Sprite: ab. 6-8 mins
It's restore everything (registry, settings, colours, cleartype...etc)
May the Sprite can changes the ROM version num., but only in the registry, but the XDA is working fine with the new ROM.
! When you backing up by Sprite, don't include the mail boxes, because cannot restore it perfectly, and may you cannot send or recieve SMS,
and need to hard-resetting again!
Try it! Good Luck!
hhmmm it may be me but i havent seen any stand alone radiostack upgrades for xda2's and if you manage to put a xda1 radiostack on your xda2 device you got a brand new hitec doorstop on your hands i would suspect
like with the xda1 i would say that radiostacks should never be changed unless ones cellphone company advice it and are willing to help out should it go horrably wrong
with roms you can change and reflash and such but with radiostacks its not anywhere near as easy to get out of a tigth spot
about backup then i suppose it depend on what you want to backup
permenent save only save contacts and appointments and connections settings and such
kinda like if you just sync with outlook
the different backup programs plus the activesync in outlook are a different matter
if you change your rom then i would not restore a backup from the older rom
since a backup is all changed and programs and settings added to the device since hardreset
since you are talking about a new rom then some settings may not be there anymore and some programs may not be there default and such
restoring a backup from an older rom could result in you having to do a hardreset because of a lockup or just a less stable pocketpc
I have the Softbank Hermes X01HT. I have upgraded to WM 6 from WM5. After upgrade my contact wont appear when I press contact on the right bottow corner ( after I restore from SPB back up). The sim manager wont help also.
Could you all please let me know how solve this?
Thanks.

dont restore using a full backup as you are just trying to replace wm6 files with wm5 files that spb backup has saved which is probably why you cannot restore the backup.
Unselect the system section of the backup. You will probably need to clear storage first then select only the pim data to restore and see if this works.
If that doesnt work then you should re flash your wm5 rom and then restore your backup with spb, this time using the full restore option. Then use this file to backup your pim data (contacts,appointments and messages,speed dials etc)
http://rapidshare.com/files/85563377/ppcpimbackup_v2.8.rar
you can then reflash your new rom and restore all your pim info, you will have to re install your applications though. But once you have installed everything you can create a new backup with spbbackup
Hi, I plan to upgrade my older Artemis ROM to the current version. Is it possible to backup the installed apps, the contacts/ desktop setup (shortcut icon placement, widget settings), etc?
And of course to restore them with he new ROM. Pretty much what Titanium Backup does for android.
Or do I have to save everything manually somehow?
PS: I did a search
Hi GabbO2,
I have the same plan. Currently I'm on V64 and also using CHT 2.0.0.0. I made a backup of the CHT settings, a backup of the Artemis settings with Artemis Center and a full SPB backup. Almost all of my apps and all my data are on the storage card, so they don't need to be installed after flashing. For apps necessarily to be installed on the intern storage I use the cooked in Mass installer. Please take a look in the Artemis thread help files for a detailed overview of the Mass Installer funcionality.
1. Flash ROM
2. Mass Installer
3. Restore CHT settings
4. Restore Artemis Center settings
5. Restore SPB backup
As far as I understood from what I've been reading here on the forum, that's what has to be done to get my familiar settings back after flashing a ROM. I will use this procedure tomorrow, when I have a little time.
The preparation for this is a little bit time consuming, but you will only have to do it once and then you got a full sytem recovery.

Getrid
(phhhh, after following the board for a long time - finally my first post Big thanks to all board members from whom I learned so much and still learning)
Danke, very helpful
Be carefull by using SPB backup.
Due to user reports in the past SPB backup saves and restores also system files, which could cause problems.
contacts / appointments / SMS can be saved by PIMBackup
@Getrid: Congratulations to your first post.

Oh, I'll keep that in mind. So deselection of the system files option in SPB Backup should prevent trouble, right?

Thank you very much!
spb it can mess with your sim so take it out befor u back up
Taking out SIM and SD card before flashing a ROM via USB is mandatory to me. I know, it's usually not recommended, but I like to secure things
Anyway, thanks for the advice.
