System Restore utility for Windows Mobile - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
Is there a System restore utility for Windows mobile.. like the one we have for Windows PC.
It would be really usefull as we all keep xperimenting with our phones..
System restore would be better than Hard Reset..

Moved as not software release.
SPB Backup\Sprite Backup you will still have to hard reset but will get you back to current state.

Windows Mobile 6 Backup

I have a Dell x50v and recently upgraded the system from Win2003 to WinMobile 6. I was looking through the programs today and I cant find a backup utility like the one that was in the Windows 2003 version. Is it hiding somewhere and I cannot see it? Do I have to download a proprietary backup software and install it? If so, any opinions on some trusty options
Thanks in advance

SPB Backup - ROM Upgrade Mode

Below is from the SPB Backup user manual. I even found a specific reference of upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 (which is what I want to do). Has anyone tried backing up 6.1, flashing the 6.5 ROM, and then restoring from the 6.1 backup? It sounds like this is what the manual suggest you can do. Is that possible?
Any Ideas?
SPB User Manual - Device and ROM Upgrade Modes - Now you can safely upgrade your device ROM or change your device and seamlessly restore your data. SPB Backup will automatically detect if the restore process is being performed between different devices or ROM versions and prompt you to select the upgrade mode to perform.

[Q] How retain sync info when restore prior system partition / flash winmo device ROM

I use Acronis to restore my system partition from time to time (running Vista Ultimate 64).
I have an HTC TP2 windows mobile device. I flash the ROM from time to time.
MWDC is used to keep the devices in sync
Restoring a prior system partition to my desktop or flashing the ROM of my phone seems to affect the sync-related-data that WMDC utilizes to determine what needs to be synced.
Can anyone explain to me what sync-related-data WMDC uses and where this data is stored on my desktop and on my phone. My objective is to back this data up each time before I restore my system partition and before I flash my phone's ROM. Then I can restore this sync-related-data before I do the next sync so that WMDC doesn't "hiccup"
I hope someone understand my question and can help me to accomplish this.
NOTE: Exchange is NOT involved in my situation.

Restore option not available

I want to restore my HD7 to older version (7720), but Zune is not showing restore.. Is there any other way for rollback??
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
Hi,
sorry to hear that your Zune won't show your backup. This usually means, that it has been deleted.
Please do the following to be sure:
Ensure, that it is the same computer, from which you updated your phone. The backups are saved on your pc, nowhere else.
Ensure, that it is the same phone which has been connected to your pc and been updated. AFAIK Zune will only offer the backup to its original phone.
Look on your pc under %appdata%\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update if there are really no backups.
If you checked all those points, I'm afraid you cannot restore your backup since someone/something deleted your backup.
