Sprite Backup Vs X Backup Question & Help

Oh wise ones of the forum can you answer this question for me.
After reading through the forums many of you recomend Sprite Backup rather that using the supplied X Backup.
I have purchased Sprite backup now here's my problem.
I have done a backup using Sprite
If i have to do a hard reset will the sprite backup program be there so i can restore? like X Backup is, in the rom?
If not what do you sugest ?

heard that spirite can backup to the sd card as an exe file in which case you can just run that to restore
or if you have access to the cab file for spirite backup you can put it in the extented rom and it will auto install at hardreset time

I can confirm that Rudegar is correct; Sprite Backup allows you to create self-restoring backups. Keep one of these on your SD card and you can always resotore your device with data & programs after a hard reset.
Works very well for me.

Does it create the self exe backup atomaticly or do i have to change a setting can't seem to find a setting for it .

THE BEST IS X_BACKUP
hi friends... i have very carefully evaluated both the software and i can bet it with u all that xbackup makes a more complete and fool proof backup than sprite...
a major problem u will some times face after restoring with sprite is that ur sent msgs will no longr be showing in the sent msg folder!!!
i have had it tried it with many xda IIs owners!

Backing up/Cloning

I'm sure that all of you that are programing have had to restore your Phone back to a workable state.. was wondering which app would work to backup/clome my phone to a file that I could restore if things go totally belly up.. any suggestions would be appreciated.. thanks

clone = expensive
to clone : spb software house clone software
expensiveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
if you hardrest yocan use to get exactly what u had before
but many backup cheap or free software : try SIP backup (sticky at this forum)
this only gets your contacts, messages, email..etc
but if you hard reset you loose all installed software
good luck

Your best try is to check excellent Backup bible by Menneisyys here. Commercial apps in that field are far superior to freeware/manufacturer issued backup utilities. If you only need PIM data backup then PIM Backup will do its job very well. It is also a good idea to have a dump of your original ROM backed up in case of warranty claims.
However use of backup utilities for migrating from one ROM to another is rather problematic (only Sprite Backup is capable of this and the results vary).

SPB Backup. Great tool, well worth the money.

Because each month a new custom ROM is released, and I can't wait to test them, I use PIM Backup for contacts, messages, email.. and for useful software I want on my PPC, I just make a single CAB with WinCE Cab manager.

full backup before hard reset

Hi all,
i'm planning to do a hard reset of my omnia II but since there is mobile shell and some other programs on it that are not original, i wanna know how to make sure i have a perfect backup of the phone before the reset.
can i make something like an image??
if notwhat will be backupped, and how do i run the backup??
thanks

Try SPB Backup or SPB Clone

did try spb backup, but he allways stops at some percentage...
now i copy all the files on my phone and did hard reset, but it is a hell of a job to put everything back...
will search for spb clone now and try that one
thanks

That´s impossible but you can make backup with sw like SPB Backup, program backup complete settings with programs, registry entry ....
Than hard reset and run backup file, its exe....
For Contacts, download PPCPimBackup from here
