Before installing ROM 1.93, I made a backup using sprite, but to what level do i need to restore? (only personal data? level 1/2/3? tick restore databases?).
After my new ROM, I would like to function again:
- restore old software on my htc
- restore favorite contacts with their pics
- restore sms (text messages)
- restore email client
I also read something about PIM, it also has something to do with backing up ii understood, but i can't open the file.

Thnx in advance,

Chris
I am having problem with the same thing(almost)
I have upgraded from 1.37 to 1.93, but when i restore from sprite the boot screen still says 1.93.00.00 but in unit info it says 1.37, i figure i take backup of some system files.. All programs, email accounts, sms, contacts are intact.

Nice if someone can make a guide of what to backup in sprite and how to restore all personal settings, accounts and programs without this problem...
?

I have done this sucessfully.
First do a FULL backup.
Second set your ROM Upgrade restore preferences at Level 1 including all databases.
Third, restore in this manner and all files/apps/prefs will be preserved.

Only works if you are restoring to the same physical diamond, if not then use restore level 2.

Yeah... I did a full backup, but when i now enter the device info from the menu it says rom version 1.37, though during boot it says 1.93.. When i do a hard reset it goes back to 1.93 in the device info menu as well. Tried restoring with level one, with db and without.. everything expept the rom version seems fine though..
