Restore from SPBackup HELP Plez!!!

[ChristianProgrammer]

OK I did it new rom installed cleanly..

So I use SP Backup..

#1) active sync of course has named the unit something different...
Can I rename it to the original name
#2) HOW TO Restore SPBackup thats on my SD card...
#3) noticed I didnt need the CAB to recognize larger SD Card this time...
#4) read enough here to reset at the three second prompt Whoo Hoo No extra Sprint Crap Yea !! Thank you !!! PPC Geeks !!!

So Will I have to manually put everything back or can someone point me to how to restore from my backup...

Only thing you can restore with SPBackup is the PIM data. Hopefully you've created a self-extracting backup, if not you need to reinstall SPB before you can restore...
Even if you took a full backup, find the file using file explorer , run it, and do "Customize Restore". Select PIM DATA, EMAILS, and MY DOCUMENTS.

DO NOT RESTORE THE SYSTEM DATA!! I can't stress this enough...

Then just click through and it will restore everything for you. You'll still have to manually install all your apps, hacks and such.

I'm pretty sure you can just go into options in Active Sync and rename your device, but honestly I haven't used it in months lol

Hope this helps <><

was bad version of files...dnloaded fresh all good

GPS Signal weak indoors try tomorrow AM All looks good...
I stupidly let the Chick at the sprint store name my PPC so the first active sync took that name...I couldnt re produce here steps here at home so the PPC took the default naming convention ---WM-machine name fortunately it was short....

I also stupidly did a full restore before catching your post but I just cleane everything from memory and started where I was after the new ROM install

I should get some sleep now...
