OK, so I'm starting to plan this upgrade. The first thing I have to do is to make sure to back up all the various personal things that are on the phone. And I thought that would be pretty straightforward, but it's becoming apparent that it's not. ActiveSync won't handle Contacts, Calendar, Email, etc. (Unless you use Outlook, which I don't.) And yet I can't see any obvious place in the file system where that stuff is stored.

How DO you best back up this stuff?

And what about the other directories? Can I just copy the entire folders "Application Data", "Documents and Settings", "My Documents"? Are there others that might have my stuff in them? Are there things in the three I just listed that should NOT be copied back to the new install?
