Upgrading to NBD 9.0, need to backup contacts

[elmetal]

hello all!

Im upgrading to nbd 8.0 today and Ive backed up my pda with spb and spirte. my question to you all is, I need to backup my contacts and all that jazz for the upgrade. what's a good pim backup that will restore after a rom upgrade?

EDIT: I apologize about the title, I submitted without reviewing and had a typo in the title, which I cannot correct. thank you

Thank you all,

Flip

ps. contacts and sms, tasks/appt are the only things I wanna restore on the new rom

First, the title of the thread says NBD 9.0 which doesn't exist. it might not be a big deal but may lead some to read this thread by mistake (maybe that's what you want :p)

Second, doing a little search wouldn't hurt. http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=4015233 i just used two words (PIM* AND backup)

It's called "PIM Backup" by dotfred (v2.5 by now) and it can be considered a standard application as most cooks include it in their ROMs. It's filled with options, scheduling, etc...

LMAO the title I didnt do on purpose it was an honest mistake.

as for pim backup, I knwo there are plenty and plenty of apps that do pim backup out there. my question really is, can I restore it on nbd 8.0 even though I will no longer be on the official 2m5 cingular rom and all?


Thank you very much

No! Don't use backup programs to backup PIM from WM5 to WM6 (At least for SPB Backup), it doesn't work and the contacts will not show correctly in WM6.
You should use PIM Backup or ActiveSync+Outlook.
