» PIM Backup Description
  

Made by: DotFred


Best Windows Mobile Free Backup App 2009 PIM Backup 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.

QandA @ December 26th 2009 5:54 pm

PERWEZ... It is easy. Unzip the downloaded file to your desktop. Within it is the execution file (application file). Copy or move this file to any place in your device, and then click on the exe file to activate PIM Backup. I put the exe on my storage card, and set up a new folder "Pim Backups" where I store the backups its makes. Hope this helps you.

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.
