Thanks,

just take a copy of the file "pim.vol" in the root directory of your pda. this will contain all office data (calendar/tasks/contacts).

to restore your backup you can overwrite this file...

can I import this vol file anywhere besides the htc? because I want to take some numbers from there and upload it to my k750 via bluetooth or something.

no I don't thinks so....I suppose you need a Windows Mobile PocketPC edition to be able to read the pim.vol file...But you can synchronize you Windows Mobile device with outlook and then convert your outlook data to your other device...

Isn't one of the major selling points of a ppc phone the fact that it does sync with outlook?

btw this should've been in the ppc forum, not the smartphone forum.
