It's stored in pim.vol in the device's root, butbacking up that file and
restoring it doesn't work- apparently there are unknown index files
elsewhere that the device uses to "decode" pim.vol.

Google for PIMbackup. It works very well and it's free. It backs up just
the PIM data- not the entire device.
