Does anyone have a backup solution for the Wizard that preserves all the settings and documents?
I still think Sprite Backup is one of the best for backing up your PDA (not only for the wizard)....
Just my 2 cents, but I really think it works like a charm...
Try this:

Download the Spb Backup 1.0 beta3! (41422829)

Sprite Backup was good for WM2003, and the WM5 version will most likely be good too. But it is only Beta yet.
SunnySoft Backup Manager has the same features I liked in Sprite Backup (compressed, self-extracting and scheduled backup).
The latest release is officially supporting WM5 and works well on my K-JAM :

I am using Sunnysoft Backup manager and it works well but is VERY slow.
I have no option in my activesync to backup my X1
Can anyone help please, how can I do a full backup?
try spb backup or sprite backup.
I like spb
Hi, everyone. I am tired of installing all the stuff to the phone every time i hard reset it. Is there a program that does a full backup? I want to hard reset it, run the backup program and have all the things working. Regardless if they are installed on the phone or on he memory stick.
Is spb backup well suited for the job. Remember i want everything to work.
Hi
What about the SPB backup ?
It cost a little, but it deserve it .
i prefer sprite backup
Spb backup is what I use...
It creates an executable backup file.
So after you hard reset, just run the backup. Nothing to re-install!
I always make a backup before I install any new apps!!

Does Spb backup backs up messages and contacts?
or does it only backs up programs?
Spb will backup everything from contact, sms.... to anything/everything on your storage card!

That one seems also great and profi.
i also recommend spb back-up
I think Resco Backup is the most complete backup / restore software, but as it's a new challenger in Windows Mobile, they still have some small issues. For me everything works except the SMS / MMS restore, which I backup / restore temporary with PIM Backup 4.8 (which is a freeware).
I have made a backup with SPB from R1 Generic_UK ROM and I'm trying to use the backup file for the R2 Generic_UK ROM.
After restoring I got the error message:
"MainWnd.cpp 198
Unable connect to server"
Any solution?
I had problems with spb backup as well. mine did install, but i ended up with flickering screen and as soon as I clicked on settings the phone froze, so i had to take the battery out. I have been reinstalling and resetting everything for the past 4 hours.
You need to remember, If you are updating your rom...
This is essentially putting an new version of the OS your Xperia!!
So the Only items you want to restore is Databases(contacts, datebook, sms...etc) and Data(my docs area)
You do not want to restore system files or registry!!!
This will conflict with the new ROM!!!
So You after you restore only the Data.... You need to re-install apps!!!
hth,
Stuart
btw, when you run your current SPB Backup file. It will give you the option of a full retore or choosing what you want to re-Install (selective restore)....stu
I recommend SPB Backup. I use it to restore my phone about 3 times and it works great.
Features I like:
- Very fast backup and restore!
- Backups *everything*, stand-alone restorer.
- Can compress the backup.
- Can choose what to backup/restore.
- And the best thing: SPB Backup Sync! It's basically an application like the Active Sync program on your PC. You can configure it to make backups everytime you sync and copy them to your PC automatically. Works great.
Myself had trouble with it, and I did try the Pim backup, small software perhaps do not backup all the programs, but, back-up, contacts and differents folders

I test drove a few of the backup programs out there a while back and posted my fave two here: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/01/data-backup-be-prepared.html
I recently was notified of HTC Backup utility - a free utility, as well as the new version of Resco Backup which is supposedly better than SPB Backup. I will be checking them out in the next day or so and posting more at the blog.
What about a restore after a firmware update. Will it work?

I prefer to just backup pim.vol, cemail.vol, the weather database and a few other files. Then just let the new ROM run and install everything I want and put the backup files in play. It's fast and automatic. No fuss and it's all built in.
sprite backup does the same as spb backup,it has all the same features but i found it does not give me half as many errors as spb

Yes, Sprite will work. As will SPB Backup, Resco Backup, Sashimi & PIM Backup
Hi there,
I use Sprite Backup V6.5.2, build 102 on by Blackstone. Yes, it can back-up the your contacts.
Select Custom Backup
Check the Pims box
Check Contact box
Unfold contacts
Here you can see that the contacts on Simcard and other contacts can be checked for backup.
Tab next and fill out the form...
Sprite works just file for me.
Cheers

I use Sprite backup, its not free but i swear by it, you have the option to back up everything. You do a hard reset, install Sprite backup, start the software, choose restore and it'll restore your HD2 exactly to how it was when you performed the back up. Brilliant piece of software, i've used it many times on my HD2 and Xperia x2. Get it!
Downloading Sprite backup now
With sprite backup, you don't even need to install it to recover a backup, you can just execute the backup.exe (self executable) file.
Never used Sprite backup but have used SPB Backup for 3 years now. It is very, very good.
The backup file is self executable. Device restored in minutes.
Cheers

PIM Backup

PIM Backup doesn't backup software, does it?
haha i nv notice he want to backup software but software need to backup??
i need we can just install back?
I tried SPB, I've used it for years on my PDA's so when I backed up my HD2, everything looked like it backed up ok. Had to hard reset the HD2 but didn't think much about it because I had a back up exe. Ran the exe twice and nothing changed. Do you have to turn off HT sense in order for the back up to work properly?
Thanks for any insight you can provide
Mike
