Backup WM to Vista HDD? - Shift General

Hi,
Is there a programm that can backup the WM side to the HDD in vista?
On my TyYN II, I use Sprite backup before I start experimenting so that I can always revert totaly to the previous state if I screw up.
On the shift we can't acces the SD (yet) so I can't use that...
If there is a way to backup all installed programms and databases and settings etc. I would be more willing to try things on the WM side like trying out new cooked roms, programms and verifying solutions etc...
grtz
Pfeffa-rah
p.s. I did do a search, couldn't find anything. If my search wasn't thorouhg enough, please just point me in the right direction. Thanks

Maybe... just a thought.
I've never used a backup program on WM...
However a thought occurred to me...
Why not install the backup program, and establish a USB connection to VISTA.
VISTA can see the device, can the backup then backup to the VISTA side hard drive...?
Just an idea.

What is this problem?

I can't make a standard partnership with my PC, everytime I get this messege and I makes e crazy :evil:
I tried to reinstall actuvsync, make a new partnership, delet the old partnership but nothing happend.
Please help, I can just make a quest partnership
is it the latest 3.7.1 ?
Yes it's v. 3.7.1
Shaytaan,
Are you able to try it on another PC?
If you can do so, at least you can narrow down the issue by eliminating the PC side, to then concentrate on the XDA.
I'd be thinking it's a database corruption on the XDA though, and I imagine a cold boot would be required to get everything working again. That said, I'm not talking from experience here - just thinking out loud I guess....

Thanks for replying
Soft reset didn't solve the problem, I tried many times.
I guess the problem happend after I installed Experince 2.0.3 and my dashboad disapeared from my ppc destop, so I decided to uninstall Exerience, after that I can't connect to my activsync again and there is nothing mentioned at activsync troubleshooting :x
Can anyone help please :roll:
Okay, then it sounds like it's more of a PC-side thing (if reset didn't fix it).
Once again, can you try it on another PC? If you find that you can set up a partnership on another PC, then it's going to be something on your PC which is causing the problem.
If you're using Win XP (and you know when the problem started, and you're using the built-in XP restore points which are on by default), you might be able to restore your PC to a point before your problems occured.
Codenix.
I could also imagine that the problem is on the PC side of things. What OUTLOOK version are you running? May it be that you have some corrupted data in there?
As bad as it sounds... you may need to go through a re-installation there...
thanks...
I have officeXP 2003 and winXP pro sp2
Now I hard reset my PPC and reinstall activsync.

Backup and Activesync

I, and some others on here, have run into a problem. With a proplerly syncing 8125 and using Activesync 4.1 or newer, installing third party software has caused us to lose our Activesync connections. An error message comes up which tells the user to check the Activesync troubleshooting guide. Four of us that I know of have run into this problem. We can still 'explore' our devices and we are 'connected' to our PCs, but we cannot sync nor can we install or remove programs. In fact, going into settings > system > add/remove programs, one no longer sees the installed programs in the list.
It appears the only remedy is to do a hard reset and start the process of creating a new partnership over again.
Here is my question. I will be getting a third party back up program (I was thinking about sprite - it appears to get better reviews then spb - feedback appreciated). I will backup my device and sd card. If the problem arises again, what do I do about the backup of the Activesync and the partnership that existed assuming the same problem arises? Do I restore everything or everything but the Activesync? Can someone help a newbie please?
Thanks in advance!

restore xbackup-file from qtek s100 to s200

hello guys.
i have a little problem so i try this way because i didn't find any way to solve the problem myself.
i had a qtek s100 with xbackup and windows mobile 2003. the device now is smashed so i get a new one (a qtek s200) running windows mobile 5 without xbackup.
this things i did try in the past:
- activesync backup but this one it is about 6 months old and not useful for me
- getting a xbackup.exe and try to run with windows mobile 5 - didn't work because of incompatibility
one thing to say: i used the xbackup.exe from this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_4x/Cabs/Patch/O2Asia_patch_140921.sa.CAB
so it could be possible that the asian xbackup doesn't work right?
i get this errormessage when running xbackup on windows mobile 5:
"unknown backup information error"
the whole xbackup language appears in english
- try to run many pocketpc roms like pocketpc 2003 (in description of microsoft downloadpage it was named windows mobile 2003), smartphone 2003 and some other roms with the microsoft emulator included in embedded visual c++ and some sdk's. the file could just be opened with the windows mobile rom for smartphone (should be windows mobile 5?) but the program crash with the error message i wrote above..
i didn't find an emulator-rom wich is exactly the operating system like from qtek s100. it could be interesting for very much people to find the right rom that is working to restore xbackup's. could be an easier way to help someone with backup problems like me.
please help me because i really need my contacts and if possible but not really importent my sms-messages.
i hope someone can find the right rom-image for the microsoft emulator.
hope someone can help me (and many other people)
thanks!
Assuming the program Xbackup would work in WM5, you can't or must not restore a WM2003 backup file to a device running WM5.

No Backup with Activesync?

Hi all. I've installed Activesync 4.2.0 and managed to connect my P3600 to it succesfully. The strange thing is, that there's no "backup/restore" option visible in Activesync to backup my PDA. This was working fine with my previous XDAIIi. Anyone know why this would be? Is is a P3600 specific problem?
Thanks for any info!
Lee.
I think they (Micro$haft) removed it in later versions of ActiveSync
Not available for anything later than PPC 2003
Just found in the help that although the backup feature is still there, it will only backup PPC2003 or earlier devices. Windows Mobile 2005 does not allow backups. How bizarre! Anyone know of a decent backup-to-PC utility out there?
Lee.
I use SPB Backup and there is also Sprite backup. These are probably the 2 best backup programs out there.
.... and does anyone know of any free backup utils out there

Upgrade Powermap ROM with Vista 64 (=without activesync) but windows mobility center

Hi Folks,
I tried to upgrade my P3300 to the nice Crossbow looking Dopod P800W rom.
It's an exe file and gives the following 2 problems:
1> Rapi.dll not found (activesync nescessary)
2> Sleep4.exe is not compatible with Vista 64
I tried to install,but cannot due to that windows mobility should take over the activesync function. I also put the rapi.dll in system folder but not solved.
I extracted the Powermap.exe rom and found the powermap .nba file.
Is there any method to put this rom image on my HTC without activesync ?
I wonder if anyone tried to upgrade rom through Vista and had the same 2 above errors and how it was solved?
Powermap rom looks awesome, and maybe a solution for us P3300 owners to enjoy the Crossbow look already. If HTC puts the crossbow rom on their downloadsection it would be great offcourse. Let's hope.
I hope I don't need to put XP again on a partition to perform this rom upgrade or visit a friend. I think the reason maybe is that this powermap rom was made when vista was not released yet. It still is based on activesync.
Thanks,
Innovator
suggest you do your upgrade on Windows XP machine (ie visit a friend). then you can use your device on Vista. i heard, it is technically possible to do upgrading on Vista, but as experience of many people shows it's not a straightforward thing. try searching these forums for "vista" and you'll see what i'm talking about. it's relevant to all devices, not only 3300/ good luck!
Let me remind you guys that there is problem with restoring from backup file on PDAMobiz ROMs (I use Spb Backup). Make sure you have it sync with Outlook on your desktop !!!!!!!!!!!!!
