will outlook data get lost when i flash my artemis?

[GiZMoSK]

Hello, i have one question:
will outlook data (contacts, appointments..) get lost when i flash my artemis?
The problem is, that i sync with two computers (home, office), and when the data get lost from pda, on sync they will get erased on both pc.

If you flash a new ROM to your Artemis, Outlook Data WILL get lost, yes. It's practically the same effect as with a hard reset. I recommend using SPB Backup to create a full Backup of your appointments, contacts etc. which you can reapply after the flashing and before syncing with your computers.
But besides that, it never happened to me, that syncing with an empty device erased data on the computer, but the data on the computer was transferred to the mobile device.

Anyhow, create a backup of your PIM Data and you should be safe ;)

Edit: There is also an Option for Active Sync / Mobile Device Center that Data on the Host Computer NEVER gets overwritten. So if you check this option, this will not happen, no matter what data is on your pocket PC

u can manipulate the settings somehow to make it read-only or write-only so it will not erase

i dont know if i am able to explain this well or no but you can make it go to active sync in your pc
open tools
open options
and you will hopefully understand what i am saying i will try to look for a way to explain this on the web and i will post it laters

pim backup is great especially if u use pimbackup 2.7 but still when you connect active sync you will face a problem that the name of the device will be different and data may corrupt
