Hi all! I wanted to share this with everyone who has been frustrated with being able to backup their personal information without having to purchase a 3rd party program.

This is a pim backup and restore program. The pim file on the phone store the contacts, appts, tasks, etc. What this program does (claims to do at least) is stores not only that information but also your text messages, call log, etc. AND restores it for you. Oh, also, you can schedule backups so that way you never have to think about it.

I needed a program that would do that before I installed the 6.1 upgrade. I have only used the backup thus far but from comments that I have read from others, the program seems to work really well. Definitely put this program and the default backup folder on your storage card.

Hope this helps! Please post if anyone has any problems with it or if it works so we know.
