Default How can I UPGRADE, but BACKING UP my old files? HELP!!!

My question is if there is a way to back up my files, upgrade the ROM and then returne the files back, but without copying each on. In other words, what is usually done when you want to upgrade your ROM and keep your existing files + contacts and calendar entries, tasks etc.

Thank You in advance for your co-operation :!:

when you upgrade, all your non-synchronized files, contacts, reminders,,,etc will be lost!
Since the device makes synchronization everytime you dock it in the cradle, no worries about losing contact & other data, cause once you upgrade & resync the data with outlook, everything will return back to the device from outlook.
But be careful that all programs installed on the device, along with their data, WILL BE LOST upon upgrading the device!!
You need to reinstall the programs after upgrading..! :wink:

As an advice,, always make FULL backup of the device prior to upgrading it! In case any problem occured or you just remembered that you forgot to save some data, you can easily restore your old system..

You can also use commercial software to backup your data, and selectively restore the database(s) you want. Sprite Pocket Backup has worked fine for me for the last few years, and its exceptionally faster than the builtin utilities.
