so I just got my Dopod C730 and have a good setup. I want to back things up so that if I ever need to do a hard reset, I can get back to where I'm at today.
Any recommendations for a backup program?
I am using Sprite 6.
Another vote for Sprite
Anything else? Other than Sprite that is.

Hi experts. I am desperately seeking some guidance from an experienced user. I have been struggling with my new Jamin for 2 weeks and I have had to do more hard resets in those two weeks than I did on my old Palm PDA's in 5 years. So I realise I need some backup software that saves the whole of my memory, so that I can do a simple & relatively quick restore. What utilities do you recommend I consider?
Sprite Backup.
I recommend SpB Backup
thank you very much for your recommendations. I will try the spb backup and see how that goes.
It's Sprite for me. I've heard of some issues with Spb but who knows. I'd investigate why so many hard resets. I've had my device for 4 months and haven't done one - and yes, I do mess with it and instal loads of software all the time. Perhaps it's because I've got Sprite !!! On my previous device I had one hard reset and Sprite re-installed EVERYTHING to precisely as it was.
back up soft
I use also sprite back up, I back my device on the sd card and also at my desktop.
SPB Backup
I use SPB and have done full recoveries and restores in a totally perfect fashion from it.
1 hard reset, 5 minutes later, device restored, resync for data since last backup and done.
perfect.
how can i do this, back up data from my touch pro please?
thanks.

What are you trying to back up? Are you intending to change ROMs? Sprite backup is best if you want to back up all your data and settings and simply reinstall it later under the same ROM. If you intend to change ROMs, you are better off backing up only your data (either by using Sprite or something like PPC PIM Backup) and reinstalling your apps after flashing the new ROM. You can use something like Sashimi to reinstall your apps in one go.

It's not the best if you try to restore on another device.
I was selling my TyTNII when I ordered the Raphael.
For the time being, I used a TyTNII from the office.
Same build, same ROM.
But a lot of programs were gone, just leaving a white broken shortcut.
So I tried SPB backup, and that worked like a charm.
Don't get me wrong: I've used Sprite Backup for a long time, with great content, but in this case (another device) it didn't do what it should do.
Hi!
I wanto to know in your opinion, what's the best full backup program (free or paid).
And with "full" i mean it backups the whole ROM, configs and stuff, and restores it in case of anything goes wrong!
Thanks!
best full-backup - soft

take spb-clone - this will meet your expectations. but check the specs of it.

If its for a WM device...go for Sprite Backup. It will definately satisfy your needs
I use Spb Backup. Plus MS Myphone and PIMbackup. There cannot happen anything, hehe.
Had the droid and with it rooted I can backup the WHOLE phone with settings, contacts, wallpaper,...EVERYTHING! Can this be done with the HD2?
Last night I had to hard reset with hardware buttons because I installed a keyboard and when I reset the phone it froze on the tmobile screen. I just had the phone completely setup and this happens!
I don't want that to happen to me again. I want to backup the complete phone/rom whatever can be done. What do you guys use?
You don´t have to backup your ROM, it´s in your Phone Memory. For your Apps and Settings you can use SPB Backup or SKTools.
Sprite Backup, It is Really FANTASTIC piece of software, it exactly does what you asking for, Takes backup of Everything, means Everything.

Resco Backup - really good app
my HD2 came with sprite backup files on the memory card....
wether or not i'll need them is a different story! lol
I use SPB Backup which also supports Restore after a ROM upgrade.
I use to use SPb but once my backup neared the100mb mark it began to show errors saying the backup file was to large etc.
now using resco and it works great. not jus new backups but u can also just update your latest backup meaning its alot quicker.
think I used sprite a while ago but didn't like it for some reason,just my2c worth.
Resco Back up
Nice to see I have won over Rexboy!!
Jas, for instructions follow the thread Rexboy started. I placed the "how to" info in there.

Cracker of a program and running updates is blissfully fast.

I user SPB Backup and PIM Backup
THANKS EVERYONE for the help! I'm going to try all of these, so glad I posted!
I'm using MyPhone (SMS, favourites), Outlook (people, appointments) and SASHIMI (esp. for auto setup of my e-mail-accounts and initial import of some registry-values to register my bought apps etc.). SASHIMI is definitely a MUST try. I do not really like all-in-one-solutions like Resco, Sprite or SPB - they can course too much problems for my taste.

Sprite Backup is the best, SPB backup is slow and buggy on my HD2.
Once you do the backup with SpriteBackup, you can do Hard Reset, Flash Rom, whatever you want, everything will just back to normal as It should be. (Dont need to reinstall apps or contacts, sms, mails...)
After speaking with a friend about a biweekly hard reset "schedule," I've decided to research the eversopopular application from SPB Software, which is their backup application, SPB Backup.
I've heard many good things about it, in terms of reliability, consistency, and the easy to use interface.
Now, having said all of that... are there programs that allow for a COMPLETE SYSTEM BACKUP & RESTORE? As in... all of the modifications, applications, registry, etc. I have now are SAVED, BACKED UP, and capable of being restored onto my device without consequence.
Is SPB Backup the ideal program for this? Please, feel free to offer your suggestions below... thank you in advance.
in one word:YES!
i am using it for a few years now and i can confirm that after a HD the SPB is capable of restoring my device COMPLETELY, 100% as it was as at the moment of the last back-up.
imho SPB is the best back-up utility. as a matter of fact is so good i bought it!
