Sprite Backup was a total disaster for me. When I tried to restore one Touch Pro's backup to another with the same ROM version, the resulting Update Profile and Update PRL gave error 407. When I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Sprite Backup, the earlier 6.x.x version refused to uninstall. Sprite, like the infamous Norton mess, has a special uninstaller on its web site, UninstallSpriteBackup.exe, but that did not successfully uninstall it either.
My workaround was to find the new version's .cab and force it to install against its will. It proclaimed that
the installation was unsuccessful, but nevertheless the new version
appears to run properly, and has made one backup so far. I do not dare to try to restore from it, though.
The most disillusioning thing is that if Sprite Backup is the most popular and most touted backup program for Windows Mobile, I can only suspect that any other choices will be garbage too.
