You can only backup PPC2003 or earlier devices.
MobileViews Blog :: Why Did Microsoft Remove Backup/Restore from ActiveSync?

One of the innovations that came with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC users was non-volitile flash RAM and the storage of key Windows Mobile databases in this RAM. This meant that both Pocket PC users would no longer lose their contacts and calendars when a battery died. Since Microsoft presumed that Pocket PC users would no longer need to restore their system from a hard disk through ActiveSync, they removed the Backup and Restore function for Pocket PCs in ActiveSync!

I'm looking for a solution myself! So far I haven't found any free alternatives, but a lot of people are recommending SPB Backup. Another is Resco backup.
