Version 2.7:
In 2.6, the backup/restore thread priority has been diminishedsoit took less resources during the task, and so other programscouldcontinue to work properly. The problem is that a backup/restoretaskcould take much more time to end. This has been changed by addingthisfeature as parameter, and so it can be changed manually by the user.

CAUTION, a bad parsing can still appear for backups made in earlier versions.

- schedule problem fixed.

- creation of temporary backup files can be either in memory or in the backup destination folder.
Version 1.9:
- fix bug in all day recurring appointments restore
- fix bug in non recurring tasks restore
- restore for "add only new..." option should go faster
- remove empty files from \Windows\Messaging
Version 1.8:
- fix problem of lost records (csv parser has been redesigned)
ADVICE: In WM6 if you have to restore call logs, do itseparatelyespecially if you have a lot of them, because cprog.exe(phoneapplication) will take all the cpu to rebuild the linksbetweencontacts and calls, so this is not good for the rest of therestore.

Description:
This tool has been made in order to replace the PPCBckpContacts application.
As its predecessor, PPCPimBackup allows to backup/restore thePersonalinformation of the pocket pc user, but new functionalities havebeenadded.
It is possible now to restore a text file containing contacts backedupfrom other applications, like in Outlook Express, the onlyconstraintis that the first line should contain the fields and thefields need aseparator. (See screenshots). The tool allows to mapdefault fields tofields found in the file. It is possible now to insertduplicates.
Backup messages:
The mail database is completely parsed to retrieve all themessagesstored in every directory and subdirectory. It is possible toselectwhich account and directories should be backed up. You cansaveattachments as wel if they exist on the pocket pc.
Restore messages:
Same as the backup, you can select which account and directoriesshouldbe restored to the device. Caution, if an account doesn't existon thepocket pc, this application will discard the messages that belongtothat account.
Restore appointments:
There was a bug in PPCBckpContacts where appointments with the samenameon different dates weren't restored. This should be fixed in thistool.
Schedule backup:
It is possible to schedule a backup, each day of the week and this ataspecific hour. If the pocket pc is suspended, it will wake up anddothe backup. You can eventually control the number of backups tokeepand switch off the pocket pc after the scheduled backup is finished.
The schedule backup creates a notification that can be cleared via the Options Menu.
File types:
There is only one file type now, which is .pib (PersonalInformationBackup), in fact it is just a zip file (so you can open itwith a zipapplication) which contain the different text files usedinPPCBckpContacts, so you can still extract these files, edit them onapc using Excel or Notepad and eventually restore them withoutputtingthem back in the .pib file.
This is the first release, it has been tested on WM4.2, WM5 and WM6.
