Using the Axim50 native Backup program, I've backed up my unit to a CF card. Minutes later disaster struck and I had to do a hard reset, losing everything. No problem, I thought (somewhat smugly I admit), I have a backup.

BIG PROBLEM, however, is that the backup file seems to be corrupt.

When I try to Restore it, 5% into it I get the message:

"Caution / Failed to restore database."

So, I guess my first question would be, is there a utility out there (perhaps like scanpst.exe for Outlook) that can daignose/fix the .dbk file?

No PC-based backups, either (my .stg file has disappeared somehow, don't know when).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
