» PIM Backup v2.8 Description
  

Made by: DotFred


PIM Backup v2.7 allows you to backup/restore the Personal information of the Pocket PC like Contacts, Appointments, Tasks etc.




Restore contacts:

It is possible now to restore a text file containing contacts backed up from other applications, like in Outlook Express, the only constraint is that the first line should contain the fields and the fields need a separator. (See screenshots). The tool allows to map default fields to fields found in the file. It is possible now to insert duplicates.

Backup messages:

The mail database is completely parsed to retrieve all the messages stored in every directory and subdirectory. It is possible to select which account and directories should be backed up. You can save attachments as wel if they exist on the pocket pc.

Restore messages:

Same as the backup, you can select which account and directories should be restored to the device. Caution, if an account doesn't exist on the pocket pc, this application will discard the messages that belong to that account.

Restore appointments:

There was a bug in PPCBckpContacts where appointments with the same name on different dates weren't restored. This should be fixed in this tool.

Schedule backup:

It is possible to schedule a backup, each day of the week and this at a specific hour. If the pocket pc is suspended, it will wake up and do the backup. You can eventually control the number of backups to keep and switch off the pocket pc after the scheduled backup is finished.
The schedule backup creates a notification that can be cleared via the Options Menu.

File types:

There is only one file type now, which is .pib (Personal Information Backup), in fact it is just a zip file (so you can open it with a zip application) which contain the different text files used in PPCBckpContacts, so you can still extract these files, edit them on a pc using Excel or Notepad and eventually restore them without putting them back in the .pib file.

A cautious "THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" It took me 5 mins to download, and 5 mins to instal, AND IT APPEARS TO WORK VERY WELL! Obviously I can't really comment now, as I still need to see how the "restore" works, but in the meantime, THANSK VERY MUCH AGAIN! Kind Regards, Derrick Marais. +27 83 282 6316.

I need help. I can't download the freeware. It keeps telling me that it's a not a valid Win 32 application. Any ideas?

This saved my data. went from treo to Touch Pro 2 and active sync 4.5 would only throw error codes. I plan on thanking the author.

Taz @ September 7th 2009 6:58 am

does anyone know whether this application supports the samsung J700???? would i be able to transfer the texts onto my pc ?

If only I could tell you how much of a blessing this was to me! I got a new phone (i760) but was then faced with the dilemma of moving my data (INCLUDING texts e.t.c.) from my old phone WITHOUT using activsync (data cable connection for old phone broken). This was such a LIFESAVER! It was simply AMAZING to be able to practically replicate my old phone with all the data and all on a new device. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

Willy @ August 12th 2009 8:43 am

WOW!!! This is a must-have for everybody. Especially for the ones that flash their phones on a regular basis. WOW!!!

Lizet @ August 11th 2009 12:40 pm

I have pim.vol saved to my SD card, from a 700wx Treo. When I copy and paste it onto my device (800w Treo), the device will not recognize the file. Does this backup software work to move the pim from my SD to the new phone?

ole @ July 17th 2009 4:50 pm

Backs up. But HOW do I open in notepad the data so I can see it on a PC?? Files are binary even if set to not binary...

rajesh @ July 15th 2009 7:46 am

i tried this software.But i was not able to open .pib file in either excel or notepad can anyone give me information ????

puja @ July 5th 2009 1:15 am

I extracted the .pbl, .pbc, .pbm and the .pbt files from then .pib backup generated by the software, but how do I edit those with notepad or excel?? I tried to edit the .pbc (contact backup) by changing the extension to .txt and .xls, but neither of the programs could open it. Please give hint.

Does this adds drafts and sent messages in the backup?

hussien @ June 27th 2009 3:11 am
