Restore Backup On different Phone

1 replies · 1,515 views · Started 01 June 2005

Hi All,

I have just changed my 9500 to a 9300 (missing the wifi already), I backed up my SMS/messaging on to the Memory card as my contacts and calender are in Outlook

When I restore the backup on the 9300 - it shows the databar for data transfer and says to reboot the phone.

Problem is that when i go to see teh back up - the phone is still empty.

I have two different backups and both restores seem to go smoothly except that there is no data put across.

I have tried this on another 9500 that had a hard reset and have the same scenario.

So how can i restore the data that I have backed up on my memory card?

Maybe you have corrupted the back ups. Try doing a backup on the 9300 and then restore and see if you can see the data.
