The sprite backup installation is given on a cd which comes with the s710.If you cannot find it,connect it to the computer,open activesync,press tools,press Add/Remove programs and tick sprite backup if it does not have a tick to install it.If it has a tick remove the tick to remove sprite backup and then install it from the cd.
Hi
I'm having a big problem restoring backup data on my Touch Cruise after installing the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade.
I took a backup before the 6.1 upgrade with the Sprite Backup Software that was with the phone when I bought it, but when I try to restore the data, the phone just freeze - and it seems that it is because the original Sprite Backup software doesn't work with 6.1.
I have then tried to buy the newest Sprite Backup Software (version 6.5.2), because it was supposed to have a feature to backup acros different ROM types. But when I find the backup file from the original Sprite Software tool, I get the message "The selected backup file was created using a different version of the Sprite Backup (1%) and is incompatible with your current version (6,5,2, build 102).
So in other words, I can't use the original provide backup tool to restore my data from windows mobil 6.0 to 6.1, and I can't use the new software either.
What can I do to restore that data? There have been no warning on the HTC website when downloading the ROM upgrade that you couldn't restore the backup data - and I'm using the backup tool that was on the CD, when I bought the phone.
I surely hope that there is some way to restore that backup data, because it contains important information about contacts and settings. If there isn't a fix then I would like to know how to restore Windows Mobile 6 on the phone, because this seems to be the only version that allows me to use the Sprite Backup tool to restore my backup data. But I don't know if that is possible (and if there is a danish version of the old WM6?).
Any help restoring the data or getting back to WM6 is VERY appreciated. THANK!
PS: I'm not very technical, so please "spell it out for me" what to do
Download the original WM6 rom, then run PPC Pimbackup to back up your PIM information, then install the WM6.1 rom, then restore the data using Pimbackup. (Free)

DOnt Panic is correct in what he says, but for your future info, you cannot restore backups from one rom to another, that is 6.0 to 6.1 or whatever. It is not the fault of sprite backup so get your money back
Downsoad official 6.0 rom from HTC (or the rom u had before). Restore your backup (this will now work with ur original rom).
Once you have all your info back, download PIM Backup from here. Backup your contacts, emails files etc but NOT system settings.
FLash your new rom and restore backup using PIM backup and happy days
PIM backup is good for this. Make sure you keep ur sprite backup u did safe, it is a good way of getting back to a good working place.
WHen you have your new rom clean, with contacts, do another backup using Sprite and keep it, clean backups done just after a flash (once contacts are on etc) are a handy tool to keep on sd card, saves doing a hardrest!

timmymarsh... Just to point out that SPB Backup has a very clever backup process between ROMS. I used it between WM6 and WM6.1 (OK so it's not the best) but between std wm6.1 and custom it worked a dream...

I have flashed the new ROM recently from the HTC official website and restored all files using Sprite backup. Then, my 'remove programs' list went empty and i couldnt remove any programs installed. I actually wanna delete the analog clock i installed earlier on but i couldnt. Any suggestion?

i used Sprite Backup. Any ways that i can remove installed programs manually or restored the 'remove programs' list?
unforunately, if you used sprite backup, you can't. sprite backup backs up files as a bunch rather than as a structure. if you used sprite clone you could actually get to save an image of your system and after restoration (since it should be completely rom independent) you'd be able to see the list.
unless there's something i don't know.. this is the case, sorry.
aww
alright thanks , i'll try it soon. Appreciate that.
I'm using PIM backup since my Touch HD.
Now I have updated my ROM to 1.72.832.1 (HK CHT), I can't backup with PIM anymore. Somebody who knows this problem and how to solve it?
It will load and do the regular things. But when the backup procedure has been ended, the new backup file will not appear.
pls help me. thanx
apps I've installed recently:
cookie's home tab
google maps
jcm development CHTEditor
are there any other free and good software to make backups?
especially for sms
i made backup with "Microsoft my phone", but don't know how to put the data back to my phone
Just login with My Phone again and the data will be restored.
As soon as the PDA displays the second frame, where the name of the storage folder is said, please check if this name matches the name you can find flicking through File Explorer. The name must be the same, or else the file saving won't perform.
I don't know how I solve it, but it's been solved
Thanx anyway for ya help!
