Re: Backing up contacts
 

Peace, Pdoc...but i cudn't find that particular folder, either on desktop copy or in device????? now i seen that folder with activesync(my computer at work runs XP) but not on MDC.....

What's good Skee? It's not a folder. It's just a file. You just have to click on "My Device" and look below all of the folders. I've done it on my Touch Pro and my Mogul (both running WM6.1). I can see it with the stock file explorer and even from my computer using Activesync.

You're absolutely right....with activesync...where does one find that particular PimVol, file in WMDC?????

Re: Backing up contacts
 

Here you go bro...This is all i use and it works great!

Re: Backing up contacts
 

yea, i found it wit a google search, but im good now

but no idea where in WMDC or Vista those contacts can be found??

Re: Backing up contacts
 

Yeah after I posted that i saw you said downloadED, not download..Figured someone else could use it hehe.. The file contacts are saved to is called pim.vol and its located right in the main folder on your phone..From your computer go to My Computer, go into your phone. You will see "/" and "Storage Card". Double click "/" and you will see the file there..

Nawh, it's all good, that's what we supposed to do. but i have "PalmVol" and "PIM" by itself..but nothing will open in Vista or on the handset????

Re: Backing up contacts
 

Its the "pim" file...Your computer is set to hide file extentions. Thats why you're not seeing the ".vol". You cant open the file though, thats just the file your phone will store your contacts. So if you didnt want to use PIMbackup you could just make a copy of that file.
