restoring a backup from one xda to another

[species_8472]

I have 2 xda's and need to restore a backup from one xda to the other

has anyone managed to this, or any ideas on how to do it.

when I try the restore active sync says the backup was made from a different mobile device.

they are both 64meg versions

You cant use activesync backup unless both are named the same in the ABOUT section. I assume you want to have duplicate XDA's? You may be able to just name them the same but get SPB Backup Plus. It is much better than the default activesync backup program, and much faster with WAYYYYY more options.

Thanks

cracks/etc can be found in alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc if your interested.

Windows is most likely generating unique device id's for the units which is most likely why is it not accepting each unit as identical.

However, you can still sync the same data. Just with different partnerships.

sorry don't know any public but there are alot of sites you can get access to 80k of newsgroups for $5 a month

www.newsgroups.st is one of them. Not an endorsement of course but I used them and it was fine.

to restore ActiveSync backup on another computer
-they should have same name
-they should have same localisation software installed (if any) before restoring
-they should have the same current locale selected

These conditions are checked by ActiveSync while restoring backup...
