I settled for Resco (eventhough i STILL do back ups with Spb and Sprite), tehy all work and have been reliable. I put Resco as my numero Uno to to teh speed in back ups and reliability....Sprite is coming up with an update soon...

Well, I was really having problems with SPB Backup, which was upsetting becuase it worked so well for me on my Apache and prior... I found a new version was released last month, so will test for a few more days, but so far so good...

I feel like a noob asking this, but my keyboard is broken and I need to take this in for a replacement, but I want to backup my stuff (contacts, text, emails, etc) first. Now, I'm just your standard user nothing special, I just need a reliable basic Backup program, should I use HTCbackup or PIM, and can someone give me a rundown of how I do it? Is it a cab file i install on my memory card and that's where it saves everything or do I download it onto my PC and it stores the info like with the treo's palm desktop program?
Thank you in advance.

Dude we all started like you, not knowing much . So go to either spb back up/sprite/ or resco back website and dowload either the cab to your SD card and run it install to your memory card , AND THEN DO a back up. This is teh easier method in your case. Give it a shot and get back for more help if needed, dont hesitate....Also, you can use pimback up that RUNS FROM tHE TP , no need to install , it is an exe, Just copy to your memory card and run


Note:
back up to your memory card (ther is an option for backing up to PC)

Thank you! Ok I downloaded pimbackup from a website and installed it on my SD card and am running a back up now. Thank you sooo much, but I had a few errors, ex: "The contacts file "\Application Data \Volatile\contacts_20090518.pbc" couldn't be added to the backup file, an internal error (2) occured." What does this mean cause I got a few like this.

Anytime man, may wanna try Resco,spb and Sprite .They are more robust applications and a must have...use teh free trials and mess with them...

you know what a soft reset solves lots of prob , try that and do another back up. Volatile means lke temporary spot ike a log may be. Another way to do a light back up like you intend to do is: look under windows and locate file name PIM.VOL just copy that to your card. That is where your contacts reside....
