I know a way to do it but its long winded & you need to use both the PC File Manger programme from http://www.epocware.com & the P800 suit backup software.

Will just see if someone knows a simple way before go into detail.

PS What problems are you having?

You can delete the contacts.cdb with the PC File Explorer when the P800 is restarted to do a backup (connection icon showing) as it is not an open file then. When the P800 restarts, it will not find a contacts.cdb file and create a new one.

WARNING:
Do a full backup before pulling this trick incase you get it wrong. You can also copy the contacts.cdb to your PC before deleting it during the backup process giving you a backup of the contacts.cdb file outside of the P800 backup archive.
