Same here. If you search my old posts (I'm to busy to do it), you will find where I did a TON of testing of all the different BU systems really TRYING to make them fail. When I had my Titan/Mogul systems, I thought SPB was awesome but I started this extensive testing because it was not restoring correctly in my TP's.

I used one of my three TP's & flashed/hard rest etc continuously & kept restoring different BU files to see how well all the different systems worked. I did things like restoring a BU from one phone to a completely different phone running a different ROM. I was able to get that exact scenario working perfectly a bunch of times with Sprite (using restore level one). That will NEVER work correctly with SPB.

I bet by the time I was done I had probably done close to 100 restores & I was completely sold on Sprite by that time. One thing I found was, if the BU file is relatively small SPB seems to work OK. Once it gets larger (I have a BU file I use for testing that is over 200 megs), SPB fails rather consistently doing restores.

As far as speed, I could care less how long it takes as long as I know I can count on it.
