PIM Backup v2.6 (freeware)
Requirements: Windows Mobile 2003/SE/5/6 PocketPc
Overview: The
PIM backup application is a tool that allows to
backup/restore personal information stored on windows mobile based pocket devices. Concerning the personal information, I refer to contacts, appointments, tasks, messages, calls,...
info
The
backup is totally independent of the version of Windows Mobile running on the device and independent of the device itself. The
backup is also independent of the language used on the device. You can easily
backup on a Chinese device and restore in a German one.
There are two kinds of backups. The binary based
backup has been implemented in order to have a
backup/restore process which is fast and more reliable, the disadvantage being that the
backup contents cannot be easily modified or viewed.
The text based
backup has been implemented in order to see/edit the contents on a pc for instance.

Restore contacts:
It is possible now to restore a text file containing contacts backed up from other applications, like in Outlook Express, the only constraint is that the first line should contain the fields and the fields need a separator. (See screenshots). The tool allows to map default fields to fields found in the file. It is possible now to insert duplicates.
Backup messages:
The mail database is completely parsed to retrieve all the messages stored in every directory and subdirectory. It is possible to select which account and directories should be backed up. You can save attachments as wel if they exist on the pocket pc.
Restore messages:
Same as the
backup, you can select which account and directories should be restored to the device. Caution, if an account doesn't exist on the pocket pc, this application will discard the messages that belong to that account.
Scheduled
backup:
It is possible to schedule a
backup, each day of the week and this at a specific hour. If the pocket pc is suspended, it will wake up and do the
backup. You can eventually control the number of backups to keep and switch off the pocket pc after the scheduled
backup is finished.
The schedule
backup creates a notification that can be cleared via the Options Menu.
File types:
There is only one file type now, which is .pib (Personal Information
Backup), in fact it is just a zip file (so you can open it with a zip application) which contain the different text files used in PPCBckpContacts, so you can still extract these files, edit them on a pc using Excel or Notepad and eventually restore them without putting them back in the .pib file.
