Re: Backup before upgrading to winmo 6.5

I used to use PPCIMbackup until ppcgeeks found that it will corrupt your data. I have stopped using that for now until the update it. Myphone works just fine if all you need is contacts, tasks, calendars - documents and that kind of thing. SPB will back up all that and more but I don't need SPB for all that because I have storage card with most of my stuff on it. I just need myphone for contacts and calendars... You can even save messages if you'd like.

So if you have used PPCImbackup in the past, then chances are that your data has been corrupted by some level and will cause problems when you try to restore, problems with the data being in-complete or getting mixed up. If it was me, I would stop using that program as I already have, unless they come up with an update which I hope they do because I loved that program. If speed dials are the deciding factor then maybe thing about adding those back yourself. You can only store what like 9-10 speed dials anyways right? So it shouldn't be a pain in the butt at all.

There's my input.

I always like to keep a backup on my card.
I always have two backups PPCPIMBackup(PIM backup) and SPB backup(full systembackup) just incase something goes wrong.

I have SPB backup and used it when I went from 6.0 to 6.1 on my XV6900 (Touch). However I have read about problems in various forums including SPB's forum about using it when upgrading from 6.1 to 6.5.
