Hi,

I want to take my Nokia 6600 for a firmaware upgrade, which is currently at v 3.42.1. I know that I should backup the info on the phone using PCSuite, but what will it not backup?

In the help it only mentions contacts, calendar entries, not SMS'es. Now my question is, after I used the backup utility of PC Suite, what else must I do before I take the phone for the upgrade to be able to restore it after the upgrade?

Thank you!

Regards,

The 6600 PC Suite backup backs up also settings and messages. What it doesn't back up is listed in BackupExclusionList.dat in the PC Suite installation directory. You can edit the file and have also all directories you remove from the list backed up, too.

You can also use the "Memory" app and back up to a MMC.
