Mobility Site - View Single Post - Restore backup from 1 x51v to another x51v

Hi all - I'm having much the same issue with an x50v, which I have reasonably regularly backed up to my work PC (I'm running Linux at home, and haven't had time to play with syncing to Linux). I've only ever connected it as a Guest at work.

Randomly broke it, phoned up Dell, who have sent a replacement & taken away the dead Axim.

Now, when I try to connect to restore the backup, it fails to restore, with an error of "The selected backup file is not valid. Please select another storage file".

Any ideas about restoring it, or at least being able to get the data out of the .stg file that it has dumped it? At least once when I tried it I got another error message saying that it was because it was a different type of PocketPC, or that the regional info/name were different. AFAIK, they are now the same.
