backed up with no outlet

[Jim Jaderholm]

For some dumb reason I did a hard reset and now I want to restore from my backup.
I have not found any decent documentation on how to restore from my backup. On the ActiveSynk Tools menu, I clicked Backup/Restore, and then clicked the Restore tab.
I then clicked Restore now. I get the message "The selected backup file is not valid. Please select another storage file."
I believe I am logged on as a guest with PocketPC as my current folder for backup. I believe I need to restore from the directory Pocket_PC which was my original configuration.
HOW DO I SELECT THE CORRECT STORAGE FILE from my Pocket_PC folder?

I did the same thing. Problem is the backup file is stored in a different folder for each partnership. So do this~

Put you Axim in the cradle to get a connection.

Go to Tools>Backup/Restore

On the backup tab click on the "Change" button next to the "back up this file to" box.

In the drop down list change to the next folder up should be "Profiles". Look for the folder with the name of the partnership when you last created a backup file and open it.

In that folder is a file called backup. Right click and select copy.

Now go back to the origonal folder (probably guest or Pocket_PC) and paste this file there.

Then CANCEL out untill you are back to the Backup tab on Activesync.

Change to the Restore tab and click "restore now"

That should do it. It should restore all your settings including the partnership you had when you backedup.

All done! Good Luck! :approve:

Good into to know. I've had this issue as well before I purchased Sprite Backup.

It is still fresh in my mind due to a little mishap yesterday. :)

Thanks. I'll try this on return from a business trip.
