Where are Contacts & Calendar Files?

[Dave Fenwick]

Where do the Contacts and Calendar files reside in the Pocket PC file system? I want to make a duplicate before trying out synching configurations with Macs and PCs. Sometimes I just want to wipe it out, too.

Use activesync to explore your pocketpc

at the roo tof the built-in memory is a folder named "databases". You'll find the appointments and contacts files in there.

I would suggest backing up the data using something like the in-built backup program as you can target the databases themselve, or if you haven't got that it's worth looking at a 3rd party tool such as Backup Manager (http://www.sunnysoft.cz/en_clanek.php?clanekid=51)

Thanks for the suggestion, Simon.

I've used ActiveSync and looked everywhere in every folder for one called "database" or "databases," but I haven't found anything resembling it.

There's a folder called "Application Data" with another folder called "Volatile" in it, but it's empty.

My iPaq is a 4155 with PPC ver. 4.20.1081.
