Been using SPB backup since my Mogul, free trial version. But I paid $30 for the full. Money well spent

Your contacts are stored in a file called Pim.vol in main memory. Copy that file to your storage card to backup contacts.

This will work provided the ROM is the same basic version (ie. 6.5 -> 6.5, or 6.1 -> 6.1), but I've heard that people have had issues if they try to go between OS versions, like 6.1 -> 6.5. Not sure if that's true or not, but just a word of caution when using this method. Personally, I'd use FDCSoft's PIM backup like others recommended.

I use Sprite Backup it backs up everything and when you restore you can choose what you want to restore including pim.vol or all you're settings it just depends on what you want and it restores 3 different ways depending on if it's the same or different rom etc. try it out

this is untrue, I have used that meathod and only that one for along time between different versions, from 6.0 to 6.1 to 6.5... I wont matter..

what do you do with the pim file after you've put it back under my device? does it go somewhere else or do i have to initiate it with a tool? thanks

thank you everyone will be thanked when i get home to my laptop. spbackup seemed to work fine.

one more question though...should the backup on files work after i install another rom? i want to install the juicy rom.
