Updated WM5 to WM6.1, doesn't reconize PIM Backup from wm5

Are there any programs that'll reconize the backup that I made from WM5 so that I can get my contacts and my calender settings back? I would have sync'ed but was having trouble setting the WMDC setup correctly with Outlook (would do everything except PIM).

what program did you use to make the backup?

The backup program that came with WM5 under Programs. I thought it would be the same for WM6, but I guess it's different.

First: Never use this program.
2: Don't try to restore from another OS (even from another ROM)
3: Sprite backup seem work for "rom upgrade" but i really don't like it
4: PIM backup (freeware) works (i use it to restore wm6->wm6.1 and even PPC->SP) but it "only" backup PIM (calendar, SMS, Appointment, contact and tasks)
5: As backup program I use SPB backup (resco backup seems good and the 3.0 of sunny backup is fine too)

Think about PIM backup (from XDA) it's a marvelous soft!!!
