I received a new/refurbed Kaiser this morning to replace my broken one. I backed up all of my data using Sprite Backup Version 6.2.2 yesterday, ready to transfer to this new phone today.
I am using the trial version of sprite backup and I understand that after the trail period is over you are unable to make any more backups but you are able to restore the backups you have already made. Therefore I assume that the trail period running out isn't my problem (even though it hasn't yet).
When I try to restore the data onto my new phone it says "authorization required" and closes the program.
How am I able to restore my data?
Do I have to buy Sprite Backup? I don't really want to as I don't plan on using it every week as a backup system and thought it was the most reliable method to transfer my data to the replacement phone...
Thanks
Any ideas?
this happned to me aswell... i bit the bullet and bought it
sent you a link via pm
Got this problem sorted now, the full version of Sprite is required to restore data on a different phone than originally backed up on.
Thanks a lot to itsallsubliminal for pointing me in the right direction.

Dear bros,
I am having the same problem. Can you direct me to how I can get the authorization code?

Here is my situation:
I had a HTC Touch Pro T7272. A few days ago I lost this phone but ordered a new one.
I ordered the same phone, but it may have a different ROM/Radio version
For the phone I lost, I have a full backup, from 3 weeks ago. I also have the updated synced files from the day before I lost this phone. I had done a lot of tweaks and added many programs, so it would be best to restore the full backup to the new phone.
1. When the new TP arrives, should I load the Sprite backup (an .exe file) onto the new phone and run that?
2. Then sync to my desktop to get the latest file updates?
3. Do I have to load sprite backup onto the Touch Pro first? Or can I just load the backup file and double clip it to execute Restore?
4. I have .net 3.5 loaded on my desktop. Do I need to load this onto the TP BEFORE I do the Restore?
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

1- You can - although it's not necessary if the backup file you created is self-restoring.
2- Yes after you've run your backup.
3- No, see my #1
4- No, unless the last backup you have doesn't include it.
Thanks for your advise C. My head is still spinning from losing my phone.
If the restore somehow messes with the phone (let's say it's got a new ROM and slightly different registry), you can always then backup your PIM data with PIM backup 2.8, then do a hard reset and restore the PIM data. If you want to get fancier, you can look through your registry and find the settings that you'd like to keep, and export those reg keys to your sd card, then import them back after a hard reset.
Since the backup file is an .exe file, can I run it from the micro sd card in the phone, or does it have to be run from the desktop?
I am sorry to tell you but, after updating to the new ROM, I tried to restore a backup taken with the old ROM and I had major problems, one of them being that the screen would not rotate when sliding out the keyboard, so I ended up hard-resetting and reinstalling all applications one by one....
Wouldn't you be better off restoring using the same ROM (as used in the backup), THEN upgrading ROMs?
This reminds me though, I don't know which ROM I had in my lost phone. Therefore I might have to reload eveerything one by one...ERRRR
Hi,
I recently did that after upgrading the ROM. I can say it works, but I'm not sure, if there are any files from the new ROM that have been replaced by old versions. You'd probably be better off just restoring your PIM data only...
CU,
Cactus World
Now I am all messed up. Please help.
1. I just received my replacement TP phone. I loaded the backup .exe file onto it but it would not execute. Error message says missing a component.
How to I get sprite backup working again? It is on my desktop.
2. I need to load .net 3.5 onto this device. I can't remember where I got it from or how I loaded it. Can someone remind me. It is actuially already loaded on my desktop.
3. I need to reload the latest version of Google Maps. Does anyone have the link?
Thanks for the help. My head is about to explode trying to get this new phone back to the previous state.
Okay, I figured out 1 & 2.
Does anyone have a link to the newest Google maps?
Does anyone know the registry setting to remove an icon on the email tabs? After doing the restore, I have 2 icons that were linked to email accounts, that no longer work. How can I get rid of them?
My last phone had "Programs" in the bottom right hand corner of Today screen. This one has "Contacts" I prefer "Programs" Does anyone know how to fix this?
I apologize if I suck at describing some of these issues. I am still beating myself up for losing the phone.

And try this for fixing those orphaned accounts - worked for me:
http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/2007/01/wm5-utility-recover-your-lost-mail.html
hyachts, thanks for the help. this software from Nicolas Mauri might work, but I couldn't tell from his blog. You see I have 1 or 2 extra email icons that were left from a restore. Will this program get rid of those email icons? Also, it is in .rar format so I can't use on my comouters here. I have to try my office. Is there a .cab file in the .rar file?
One more request. Does anyone know how to add the "programs" choice instead of "contacts" on the home screen (lower right hand corner)

I 've had the same problem and it was solved by doing the following:
1)Open the File Explorer
2)Click Menu--> View Options
3)Tick "Show all files"
I don't know if that's the case but it worked for me.
hi bro, i download the program frm HTC website, i install it on my PC, what is the next step? after installed, i try to back up, an error message prompt out Please Ensure Sprite Backup is install in your device, can anyone guide me?
i try to run the setup file in my phone but it cant install
thanks.
Wish I could remember exactly how to set it up, but I can't. What I do remember clearly though is that you have to run it from your PC the first time - it can't be run from the device initially. Did you get the app' onto the device via Activesync? I seem to remember it working through Activesync the first time, but like you I failed to start it on the device, so I'd give up trying that way - it's a waste of time. Persevere with it like I did, and you'll get there!
Thanks. can download and backup already.
Hi, I just found this link download for Sprite backup. Not sure if it is a trial version or not, but it is working fine with no restictions with my HD2. Definately isn't Warez
Link is
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Sprite-Backup-Download-58811.html
I have backed up and restored no problems, but I am wondering if anyone else has used this to restore after changing to a new ROM?
I dont want to test it in case anything goes wrong
Thanks
Edit************
Definately a trial verison for 10 days, but still good if you want to check out the software.
The link you posted is a trial version - it clearly says so on the site linked to.
I haven't used Sprite on my HD2 but used it on my TyTN II and used it to restore having upgraded the ROM from WM6 to 6.1 without a problem. However, don't take that as a guarantee that it will work on an HD2!
May you be warned.

I am trying out SPB Backup. Hopefully, it will rescue my hardwork the next time my HD2 becomes uncontrollable.
You mean your HD2 didn't come with Sprite backup? HK versions is bundled with a full version.
Sprite Backup
Yes, I have a Malaysian device that also comes with it. Write now, after a hard reset I can't find it anymore to reinstall it. Can you help me?
thanks for the link
I tried Sprite, then bought the retail version. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
What it CAN'T do is a restore if a new rom is put on the HD2 - just won't work!
Having said that, I like it, and perform a backup frequently.
I never could get it to restore properly either
after flashing even a new ROM update. It says you can do it. They also stopped their forum and said they were just going to handle questions through support. Two emails to support never answered.
If you restore from SD card it is quick. You need to re-set your restore options each and every time. If you restore from PC you have to re-enter all your software registration data. Kind of a pain.
Restore options should be delete all files and replace not merge.
If I had it to do over again I think would try SPB Backup. Only heard good things about it.

Need a bit of help guys. I need to revert my focus to the original rom. I updated to nodo thinking I could unlock and sideload afterwards, but of course.. I couldn't. I've reformatted my pc since then and don't have my old restore point. I'm downloading a 7008 backup from a user here on XDA (thanks munkeyphyst!!!)
but I don't know how to get Zune to see it as an old restore point. Can anyone tell me where I need to put the files?
I have XP SP3.
thanks in advanced.

any chance he has shared the backup in a thread? I am in need of such a backup as well. The files are all saved in your zune folder by the way, if you make a backup of your phone you will find them.

Hello,
I'm having hard time to have this software working.
I changed a path yesterday, and now I'm still having this message:
The Specified executable is not a valid Win32 application.
This the message I have after clicking Windows phone 7 backup1.9.exe
There's a REG key somewhere i can remove or any config files? That's a pain! I can't have it running anymore.
Latest zune installed on 64bits windows7.
That's an other thing, I had message yesterday saying that I need zune installed... This apps is not working without zune?
Thanks.
Can you let me know which is this backup tool ?
why not post this in the thread of the same application?

wpxbox, you wrote a great tutorial with video

Heheh I need at least 10 post to be able to post in this thread.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103011)
And yes, I follow the video, the tutorial and having the same result. There's an other way to do a full backup?

you can try this one. It's based on the same MS files, but supposedly more bullet proof. Haven't tried that yet. My experience with hxkiller's backup tool is that v1.6 works best for me.

I haven't tried it. but with the other one you would need to copy the GUI folder for the backup into your
C:\Users\Hilmar\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\
folder so it looks like this (with your GUI though)
C:\Users\YourAccountName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\f52e4344 - 19eO0604 - 7918db00 - d62273cf
When you open Zune it should find the new restore point with the data you created it. see image.
don't forget to hit the Thank you button.
This little software is just perfect. The backup was saved at the exact same path. And I have the available restore point in zune for november 25th
