Re: Need Help - Lost Data, Possibly B/C of ActiveSync
+1 for SPB. I use that along with a Dashwire account. There's no way in hell I would rely on just WMDC (ActiveSync for Vista). The great thing about SPB is that is backs up your ENTIRE device, apps, settings, and all. ActiveSync just backs up whatever is in Outlook. Dashwire takes that a step farther and also backs up emails, text messages, voicemail, pix, & videos. It's free, which is also a good thing.

+1 for Dashwire. Unlike the other solutions mentioned here, Dashwire is platform independent, menaing that your PC does not have to be running Windows to make it work!

Re: Need Help - Lost Data, Possibly B/C of ActiveSync
Yup, can't stress enough the use of a backup program. I agree with the other posters...SPB backup is consistently the best I have found. I have used free programs and Sprite, but SPB just seems to be faster and more reliable.
I tried Dashwire and found it to be a little much for me since I backup everything with SPB. I do use Mail2Web, though, which is great for backing up calendar and contacts. I would rather have availability to get my calendar and contacts if my device goes down or if I leave it somewhere. Since I know pictures, text, etc are in my backup, if I have an emergency, I know I can get to my current calendar and contacts on Mail2Web. Mail2Web is also free and works via ActiveSync wireless (which has been extremely reliable for me). It is backed up whenever I change something on my Mogul or when I connect it to a computer running activesync. Hope this helps a little. -David |

FWIW, outlook sync *should* preserve custom ringtones, etc. But then you know how that goes.

Also worth mentioning: I have HTC HC, and also missing after this "debacle" is my customized "favorite people". "Launcher" still contains my chosen program "shortcuts". (leading me to believe my data loss was specifically "contact" related) THOUGHTS? BTW, BIG thanks for all recommendations on backup options...keep them coming! Personal experience/recommendations hold a lot of weight... Last edited by 96XJSport; 10-11-2008 at 10:23 PM. |

I've only used DotFred's PIMBackup and it is amazing.
