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

Hi, I was trying to backup my device, as I have already done hard reset few times already and didn't want to have to install everything again each time I hard reset!
There don't seem to be an option, like it was on the Jam to backup device.
I did search guys but had no luck!
try sunnysoft backup manager 3.7 or spritebackup wm5 beta version but they have many bugs.............there isn't any way at the moment
You can try SK Tools, it has backup option and lot more...

Hi Everyone,
Which Backup program do you use? Is there one you recommend? All this hacking my Cingular 8525 around has had me hard-reset at least twice within the last week. I need a good and reliable backup program since installing all of my software is taking me over 2.5 hours of time.
Thanks for responding.

spb backup has never let me down.well worth trying.
sprite also gets good reviews but I've never used it.

I've tried different backup programs with my TyTN.
I found that the only perfect working program is SPB Backup.
I've already restored my data after hard reset with this program (not once) and all is good.
i use spb also, works great
I vote for spb as well.
Although keep in mind that it only does back up system settings and core software installed in device (not sure what exactly), not the whole file system of your PDA. My problem was, I deleted some files and uninstalled some programs after backing up, and after restore they were not there! (just blank icons).
I would love to mirror my whole device on PC hard drive, yet I am not sure about software for this purpose.
how well does spb backup perform when you do a ROM upgrade?

Whatever backup product you use, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT applying a backup from a different ROM version. You're asking for serious trouble.
Simply put, if you update your ROM, you're also plan on reinstalling everything clean from scratch...

Sprite Backup works perfectly with ROM and DEVICE upgrades.. I switched from my Wizard to my Hermes without any problems..

Use Sprite Backup in this case, it'll work unless you try to cross-restore between AKU2.x and AKU3.x. And please DO read my above-linked article; in there, I've also elaborated on this very question.

Strange you had problems with the otehr alternates (Sunnysoft Backup, SKTools 3.0, Sprite 5.1). Are you sure you tried the LATEST versions of them? It's only lately that, for example, Sunnysoft Backup received REAL WM5 support.
Also please read the Backup Bible I've linked in above if you need more info on all these questions.

Both of you are correct. Sprite DOES work great in most cases, except for restoring AKU3 content under AKU2 and vice versa.
does restoreing after a ROM upgrade using Sprite also keep your current registry changes as well...or do i have to do all registry hacks all over again...or even after just a hard reset not a ROM upgrade do i still have to enter the reg. edits all over again....
Sprite works well for me

It will restore your registry changes too. Otehrwise, it wouldn't work at all with a lot of third-party apps that also use the Registry to store their stuff / settings.
Does anyone know if Spb backup will back up outlook notes?
Sprite is the only one worth getting since you can restore after a ROM or device change Just make sure you RTFM before you go changing anything as there are things you need to do before hand
Interesting to hear that Sprite Backup works without problems for all of you. On my TyTN, when it wants to reboot before beginning a backup, the TyTN gets stuck at the Windows Mobile screen. Removing/re-inserting the battery usually allows the boot process to finish - but only until the next reboot. After that, all subsequent reboots show that behaviour, no matter if initiated by Sprite Backup or otherwise. And very strangley, after a day or two this phenomenon disappears slowly. A hard reset fixes the problem immediately - at least until I re-install Sprite Backup or restore an (executable) backup I made earlier.
What's even more strange is that this seems to be reproducable, even across different ROM versions. I saw that first with the O2 Germany ROM my Trion came with, and also after I updated to the south-african WWE ROM.

Few times used Sprite Backup with XPERIA, but every time after restoring phone always freezes at WinMobile green boot picture! And only HardReset!
1. Is sprite backup compartible with xperia?
2. Is sprite clone compartible with xperia?
3. Please advice me SAFE and workable backup program or another way...

btw, what is the reason you are restoring...
try hard reseting you x1 before you backup

Yes, I had this problem with sprite backup! same problem! and then I used spb backup and everything is ok now.
I made all these changes to my Imagio since I received it, i.e. put on SPB Mobile Shell, finger keyboard, adjusted alot of the settings.
How do I back this up and be able to install again exactly how it is now if I need to do so. Is there a particular application that I use. What instructions do I need to do. I like my settings and what I put on the Imagio but dont want to go through the process of doing it all again if I do something to do the phone.
Please advise.
SPB Backup and Sprite Backup come to mind.
with spb back up and in case I have to do a hard reset since the Imagio crashed, can I use this to start up my Imagio again in case it crashes and it will look like exactly how it was before the crash. I would like to be able to click on one button, run the exe file and presto, the Imagio looks like before it crashed.
Yes thats ghow SPB backup works. Just save the backup file on your storage card. After a hard reset, you just run the self executing backup file and it restores everything.
I ran SPB Back up and saved it on the SD Card but which file do you click on because it looks like spb backup created mutliple files since it said it was to big.
Also what happens if you can hard-reset, i.e. you brick your phone. Does SPB Back up not restore the ROM & Radio or am I just confused here.
