IMHO, Sprite Backup is utterly atrocious. First, it didn't do what I needed done--to carry over all my programs and data from one Touch Pro to another with the same ROM version. After restoral, Update Profile and Update PRL give error 407. But OK, this may be some bizarre machine dependency hidden in the registry.

So I decided to try upgrading to Sprite Backup's latest and greatest version. Upgrades from one 6.x.x to another 6.x.x are free. I download the new version, but the old version won't uninstall. I try soft-resets, etc., but still the old version just won't go away. I google the problem, and find on Sprite's web site a program called UninstallSpriteBackup. exe for just this purpose. Its hyperlink is miscoded as a zip file, so Opera Mobile brings it down with a .zip, but I eventually figure that out and fix the suffix. I run the program, and it proclaims, "Uninstall successful."

BALONEY. The old version of Sprite Backup is still there. It's listed in the Remove Programs list, but refuses to go away; and so the new version refuses to install. I am now left with no working version at all.

Ergo, Sprite Backup is utter garbage.
