Hm, it does sound like we're talking about the same thing. Let me  
give you my current background. Yesterday for some unexpicable reason  
my Zire's battery discharged completely so I lost everything. I have  
been using MS's Backup conduit faithfully with the "Backup all  
databases" option clicked. I set the Backup conduit to do a "restore  
from backup" and hit the sync button. After syncing all my items were  
back, but everything was in the Unfiled category.

It sounds like you've gone through this procedure before and the  
categories were not lost. So what are you doing differently from me?  
I'm using a Zire 72 with PalmOS V5.28004.
