A PC Activesync backup?

Been there, wore the t-shirt etc on the 3630, so am assuming the 38 is
the same.... Regional Settings.

If the Regional Settings are not the same as the backup, then the backup
will fail with the sort of error that you mentioned. ISTR a hard reset
will make it think it's in the US, which you probably changed to UK
previously.

Try that, hope it helps!
