Hi everyone,
My guess is that like a lot of people on this forum have at one time reinstalled his/her phone and like to restore only parts of the backup instead of the full old situation.
I'd like to create this thread to get a list of howto's on as many single components.
The following I know already:
Restore all Contacts
[list=1]
Copy the file "<backup folder>/system/data/Contacts.cdb" to "D:\system\data"
Press the Contacts button. You'll see now a folder called "Contacts" select it and press <enter>. There you'll find all your contacts
Select them all (by selecting the first and keep shift pressed while going down to the last one with the arrow key)
press Shift+Control+C, then select your Contacts database on the Comunicator
At the top of the "backup contacts database" you'll see the comunicator icon. Select it and you are back at your phones own database and all contacts should be there (including pictures) :)
[/list=1]
Restore all Calendar appointments
[list=1]
Goto your Calendar by pressing the "Calendar" button
Press Shift+Ctrl+M (Merge)
Press "Browse" and goto "<backup folder>/system/data"
Select the file "Calendar" and press Ok
Now all your appointments will be "merged back" into your comunicator's calendar :)
[/list=1]
Restore all desktop Notes/links
I thought I'd found these in "<backup folder>/system/favourites", however by copying them to "C:\system\favourites" didn't work for me :(
If anyone could please help me with this one, thanks a lot
So if anyone has info on how to restore the desktop notes or other things which can be restored seperatly, please post it in this thread.
Ofcause aditional questions on partial restores is also welcome :cool:
