Backup problem
Author: web   Add date: 04/09/2008   Publishing date: 04/09/2008   Hits: 0
Hello,

I have a N95-1 RM-159 V20.0.015. I am experiencing some problems with backup using the latest Nokia PC suite.

This is what I have done so far?br />
1. Backup phone. Calendar, notes, contacts, and messages

2. Perform a hard reset
3. Restore phone. Calendar, notes, contacts, and mssages
4. Re-perform another backup
5. Use the phone for 1 day. The very next day, I cannot do a backup. I have not installed any software yet.

The error message I am getting from the backup report is?br />
Backup log:
Date and time: 2008/03/24 19:50
Backup saved to file:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx\Desktop\backup.nbu (1.3 MB)
The phone model-specific backup includes:
- Contacts
- Messages
The following content can be copied to other phone models:
- 28 contacts
- 5 notes
- Text messages
- Multimedia messages
The following items could not be backed up:
- Calendar and notes

Any ideas? I have done this test many times and each time is the same result. Thank you in advance. ------------------ Why did you try to backup two days in a row, may i ask? ------------------ I found this problem by fluke. Back then I had installed bunch of software for testing purpose, I did a hard reset because I wanted to start from fresh. Then I received lots of sms and contacts, and I wanted to make sure I have a latest copy. I don? backup my phone everyday. Haha. ------------------ If you'd like to browse through exactly what you have backed up you should put NOKI on your PC.
As for the notes and calender errors, i'll see what i can find out. ------------------ 1.3Mb doesnt seem like much for a full backup to me.
Also, just curious as to what firmware you have on the phone. ------------------
Quote:------------------ If you want to keep a heap of sms, move them all to your inbox, connect to PC with PC Suite, open your inbox using PC Suite, and then copy and paste them all to a new folder on your PC. ------------------ This is weird. So I did a hard reset again, and restore the "suppose failed backup"... and I have all my stuff.

Go figure...

The log is...

Restore log:
Date and time: 2008/03/24 21:53
Data restored from the file:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Desktop\backup.nbu

The following data was restored to the phone:
- Contacts
- Calendar and notes
- Messages

Haha. Whatever, I give up as long as I have my stuff ------------------ HAHA, i'm glad you got the result you were looking for. ------------------ i;m getting this problem, i had it before when i was trying to back up messages, the problem before was it couldn't back up a picture message.

anyways, now i'm trying to back up my.... calendar, user files from the gallery, and contacts. yet i'm getting struck on phone model specific backup.
