Has anyone successfully backed up and restored on a WM6.1 ROM (Bepe's kitchen, Tom's or Meschle's ROM's)

When I try on my cooked ROM (using Bepe's Kitchen - thanks Bepe, great tool!) using SPB backup I get the messages in the log file during backup:

2008-02-12 12:45:52 Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:12 Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:15 Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".

When using sprite backup I get prompted to restore in upgrade mode and it fails to restore my PIM and other databases.

Have I done something wrong in cooking my ROM? or are other people seeing this too. Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.

Thanks.

Matt.

No you haven't done anything wrong. The files above are related to PIM and SMS which are not backed up properly by SPB or Sprite' Backup applications on WM6+

I always use PIM Backup 2.5 additionaly to the above just to backup the PIM data.

Thanks Carty, have you managed to perform a full restore using both SPB backup (or sprite) and PIM Backup and still keep the activesync state so that all of the exchange data is not re-downloaded ?
