Hello Graham,

I suggest you delete and recreate the ActiveSync partnership. I am not sure
how you have restored the backup since you wouldn't have faced with the
dialog regarding unique partnership if done correctly. Either way the steps
to delete and recreate the partnership along with information on how to
resolve the unique partnership dialog is explained in the following page ---

The correct steps to restore a backup file is explained on Chris De
Herrera's site ---

I hope you find this information useful.

Raj
