PimBackup, you can save it and run it from your card. Make it save the file to the card, then when you are done then you can restore it from the card. It also grabs you texts and some other files as well.

If you are going to put the file on the card that PimBackup makes, be sure you are not running encryption on your card, as after the hard reset, the files will be unreadable.

Another option is Microsoft's My Phone service.

you should use microsoft myphone. it syncs everything:
Contacts
Calendar
Tasks
Text messages
Favorites
Photos
Videos
Music
Documents

works great! all you need to do is install the app on your phone and sync. when you restore your phone, just reinstall the myphone app and sync again. it will automatically sync everything back. i recently had to do this and was amazed. i will never again feel like i can't restore my phone.
