Microsoft has released a beta of Phone Data Manager, a utility designed to backup select data ( contacts, music, video and photos )on your Windows Mobile phone (or other SyncML/OBEX standard compliant handset) so you can restore it with ease. The beta works both with Windows Live Contacts and a Windows PC.

Its not a complete Backup solution,but does offer some benefits. Contacts are saved on to Windows Live, while media files are stored in a folder on your Windows XP or Vista PC. In order for you to synchronize contacts, you will need to have a Windows Live ID (any Hotmail ID is a valid Windows Live ID). If you do not have one, you will be prompted to create one while you use the application.

Download it from Microsoft’s Website

HTC Data Backup v3.1

PIM Backup

Features:

This tool has been made in order to replace the PPCBckpContacts application.
As its predecessor, PPCPimBackup allows to backup/restore the Personal information of the pocket pc user, but new functionalities have been added.

This tool allows to backup/restore:

- appointments
- call logs
- contacts
- messages (SMS, Mails, …) NEW !!!
- speed dials
- tasks

Restore contacts: It is possible now to restore a text file containing contacts backed up from other applications, like in Outlook Express, the only constraint is that the first line should contain the fields and the fields need a separator. (See screenshots). The tool allows to map default fields to fields found in the file. It is possible now to insert duplicates.

Backup messages: The mail database is completely parsed to retrieve all the messages stored in every directory and subdirectory. It is possible to select which account and directories should be backed up. You can save attachments as wel if they exist on the pocket pc.

Restore messages: Same as the backup, you can select which account and directories should be restored to the device. Caution, if an account doesn’t exist on the pocket pc, this application will discard the messages that belong to that account.

Restore appointments: There was a bug in PPCBckpContacts where appointments with the same name on different dates weren’t restored. This should be fixed in this tool.

Schedule backup: It is possible to schedule a backup, each day of the week and this at a specific hour. If the pocket pc is suspended, it will wake up and do the backup. You can eventually control the number of backups to keep and switch off the pocket pc after the scheduled backup is finished.
The schedule backup creates a notification that can be cleared via the Options Menu.

File types: There is only one file type now, which is .pib (Personal Information Backup), in fact it is just a zip file (so you can open it with a zip application) which contain the different text files used in PPCBckpContacts, so you can still extract these files, edit them on a pc using Excel or Notepad and eventually restore them without putting them back in the .pib file.

To do:

* MMS Backup/restore doesn’t work!
* fix problem with mms “attachments” which are stored on disk but are not considered as attachments in the cemail.vol (wonderful!)
Arcsoft MMS software uses own-defined properties (blobs) in pmailMsgs table in cemail.vol but I cannot decipher them for the moment.
*conversion of text backups <-> binary backups

The exe contained in the zip file, should be copied and launched on the pocket pc, and not on a pc.
