where does yr back up go?

I've only just recently got an ericsson phone, w580i, I've always been a nokia user

today i backed up my phone but I've no idea where that copy is :s

with the nokia it always asked me where i wanted to save the file and i'd save it to another drive.

I'm thinking its on C: in the ericsson folder somewhere but if i have to format my drive how on earth am i going to restore my phone?

I've looked in the book, on the ericsson site but i cant find an answer, hoping someone here can help me out

thanx :)

backed up what??

phone book, gdfs, customs ????

And what software did you use?

Please be more specific that way we can help you more.

hi

i use pc suite to copy/back up the entire contents of my phone

i can see the program doing that when i hit the back up button but i have no idea where the back up goes

like i say with nokia it asks you where you want to save the file

thanx

try to be specific how and what programme you used to back up, this will ensure that other users have little difficulty in assisting you.

contacts
you can back up the contacts list to MS outlook. or use other bluetooth software and sent all you contacts to your pc and save them as MS excel file which you can later send back to you mobile. also, its a good practice to set you phone to auto save to sim card and have back up of contacts in you own sim card and this way you will not need a pc to put back in phone memory. the ony corn of contatcs to sim is the inability to save addresses and mails to sim card.

other files on phone
you can simply drag and drop into any folder on you pc. just connect your mobile using the DCU-60 cable and you are ready to do your back up.

good day

Send installed applications/games only DB2020 ( K800i , K810i , V630i , W880i and other ) : Tips and tricks : Sony Ericsson @ Esato

Or use patch: move java to other.vkp ( if you will I port this patch for W580 ? )
After this patch you must move games/applications to Phone memory, open folder Other/SE/Java and can send/install again.


Or this patch: Allow transfer of java applications.vkp
With MobyExplorer unmark Hidden on folder System, then go to File Manager > System > AMS and again can send/install games/applications.
