Hey guys,
SPB Backup is running for several years now on my Universal and I really don't want to miss it anymore, especially since we're all doing ROM stuff as discussed a lot over here.
Today I bought the new HTC S710 (Vox) and a while playing around I was sad to see that SPB Backup won't install on the Smartphone interface. Ok, I should have known, but a lot of Pocket PC apps WILL actually install and work.
The question now is, what is a SPB Backup like tool for Windows Mobile Smartphone? E.g. like a tool that creates an entire image of your situation which can be restored later.
Thanks for the tips!!
Is there a program finally that is able to backup WM 6.1? If so, where can we find it?
it depends what you want to backup
Other then tha basic pics, music, stuff like that.
What can we backup?
*Asking as a noob cause I'm sure there are people out there, that are not informed on what really can be backuped.*

sprite backup works. now i havent tried a restore from the file it created, but i have sprite backup V6.1.0 build 2192 and creating the backup file works, so i assume the restore works too.
for example i backup the contact and the sms.... if you have wm 6.1 you can use sms pack to backup the sms... look it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378344
Sweet thanks and Sprite restore would, restore what?
i think all... look :
Sprite Backup 6.20
Award-winning Backup for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6 (Pocket PC and Smartphone)
If you have customized your device with productivity applications or if you don't want to lose your call history, SMS messages, pictures, ringtones and more, then make the smart choice for your smart device.
Cool, thanks.
BTW those are some nice lips in your pic. reading your name kills it though LMFAO
nooo... i like this nick....

I dont need a program to back up my stuff.
I use Outlook 2007 for contacts and Calendar.
I pics and music are all my storage card. (Desktop computer also)
SMS can use the program already on the phone. SMS Backup.
Like i said, this was/is for noobs
i think too that this is an unnecessary program

Then remove it.
We upgrade Roms for speed and more free space.
Extra programs only slows down the phones.

This depends on what you are looking for. If you are using a cooked ROM, you probably want to avoid "full" backup solutions like Sprite, Spb, etc., as these tend to screw with the cooker's registry tweaks and often do not work very well (in my experience).
If you just want PIM backup, use a program called "PIM Backup" (search these forums).
If you want your programs (i.e., cabs, exe), settings (i.e., registry), etc. backed up, you can use "UC" (search) provided that the ROM is compatible, or you can use a program called Sashimi, which is available on another site (just google "Sashimi 7.9").
There is also a thread over on the Diamond forums about backing up the "small annoying stuff" in TFLO 3D, like weather cities, favorite people, etc.
Hope this is helpful.
I have tested Resco, Spb and Sprite.
Resco seems to backup and restore correctly, but reports problem with closing manilla.exe and some other executable.
I used Sprite once, it seemed ok but in the log it reported that it could not back up QTV.dll. This seems a no go!
SPB seems to backup and restore with no issue. I did not see a log though (and my trial period is over). The only drawback is I did not see it restore individual files as resco does.
I'd like to read other's experience before buying one of these (at the moment my choice is SPB).

I am using SPB for year now. Very happy with it. Give me 100% restore whenever I got screw up with the bad tweak or registered edit or gone crazy . Had done many times of backup and restore with it. Usually SPB will backup everything on your device. (excludes external memory). No issue with it so far.
Spb Backup was the most stable Backup software I ever used! Both Sprite and Resco gave me some errors when restoring a full backup with Manila enabled, Spb wasn't interested in it!
So, if ypou want a good deal between functionality, stability and price: Spb is your choice in my opinion!
I'm aware that the new stock TM Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade has a program on it called Mobile Backup. On the ROM I'm using now I have PIM Backup. Specifically what I'm looking for is how to backup email settings without having to do it every time I flash the device. I'm also there are ways to create your own cabs, I assume XML; but I am far from having the expertise to do this from scratch myself. I get that most of these programs will save my contacts, messages themselves but it is the settings itself though I'm a reasonable guy if a program does it all I'm not going to complain; any ideas? Thanks in advance!
