Contact list backup

[DiscipleDOC]

I am planning on doing a flash to WM6.

I have a HTC 8525.

Is there a way to backup my contact list before I do a flash?

It will back up your contact list, messages, phone history etc..

Wow. EXACTLY what I needed!

I personally prefer syncing w/ outlook on the computer so that EVERY time I need my contacts back (I flash a lot)(get ur mind outta the gutter ) I just sync my phone with outlook. Does appointments, tasks and emails too.

be careful when you backup your contacts
you must deactivate the encryption option in wm6 TO MAKE PIMBACKUP READ YOUR BACKUP FILE NON ENCRYPTED WITH .MENC EXTENSION

I do something similar as well. Before a ROM flash I make a copy/archive both the Outlook calendar and contacts. Then I make a small change on a calendar and contact entry on the PC and then sync (so that the PC has the latest timestamp before a synch). This avoids any possibility of 'oh crap I synched my phone with outlook and now everything is wiped out on my outlook calendar and contacts'.

I tried to do that once before....but wm5/6 does not like outlook 2007 for some reason.....

I did a backup using this software, and it works flawless. I just did a flash, and restored my contacts/messages/calendar......thanks.
