Try Old method, INI file.
Save the contents into an ini file and restore back. You can even go to the level of saving column widths etc, so that it comes out exactly the way it was before.

Save each row of data, (all sub items for one list item) to one key value, with a known data seperator. ',' is the standard stuff.

Then read back the key contents, parse using the same seperator and add back to the listview.
I dont have a code at hand, otherwise i would have provided here. Tell me if you have troubles impementing..
