what version of windows are you running? If its vista you cant run active sync...(the cd that came w/your phone) you have to download wmdc (windows mobile device center) its free from Microsoft. It will allow you to sync your contacts, calendar, tasks, and e-mail.

If its actual backup your looking for check out sprite backup (it works great)

Loaded Up Vmware with xp pro. installed the cd and outlook and stuff and whata you no everything works and my contacts are backed up lol. if you still have an answer tho i would love to get it working threw 64 bit vista

Not sure which version of the WMDC driver for Vista 64-bit you tried, but I've read that installing 6.1 did not work for some, so they downgraded to 6.0. and once it installed it updated itself to 6.1 and worked fine from that point on.

Here are the links to both so you can choose / try them as you see fit:

Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit)

Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit)

I also found this Windows Mobile Device Center Troubleshooting page
