You are correct, not "within" bitpim, but you can do this with bitpim, it
just requires a little know-how.
On windows bitpim creates a directory called "bitpim" under "my documents"
If you rename this to something like "bitpim_phone_XYZ_on_23rd_October_2006"
(while bitpim is not running) you have effectively created a backup not just
of your phonebook but of everything on the phone. To restore, just rename it
back to bitpim.
