I would like to reset my smartphone back to factory status, but worry
about losing key information.

When I sync a virginized unit, will these files be re-installed?

Contacts
Call history
Notes
To-Do Tasks
Calendar


Thanks!

I have used a program called PIM Backup to do the above but if all I want to
backup is Contacts, Call History, Notes and Favorites then there is no need
for a special program since all those can be easily copied or moved to a
memory card.

Hello,

Assuming that you have some sort of connection with Outlook
(ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center) or Exchange (for over-the-air
sync) then yes, all of your PIM data that is sync'd with that solution will
return once you re-sync it.

You will also need to make sure that any files/data outside of PIM data is
backed up as well as that will have to be manually reinstalled by you via
WMDC or ActiveSync. This can be done when your Phone is connected to your
PC. Also make sure you get things like Pictures if you have them.

Hope this helps,

Clinton
