No Backup with Activesync?

[leecotton]

Hi all. I've installed Activesync 4.2.0 and managed to connect my P3600 to it succesfully. The strange thing is, that there's no "backup/restore" option visible in Activesync to backup my PDA. This was working fine with my previous XDAIIi. Anyone know why this would be? Is is a P3600 specific problem?

Thanks for any info!

I think they (Micro$haft) removed it in later versions of ActiveSync

Just found in the help that although the backup feature is still there, it will only backup PPC2003 or earlier devices. Windows Mobile 2005 does not allow backups. How bizarre! Anyone know of a decent backup-to-PC utility out there?

I use SPB Backup and there is also Sprite backup. These are probably the 2 best backup programs out there.

.... and does anyone know of any free backup utils out there :)
