Use SPB Backup for two phones?

JohnnyOnTheSpot · #1 (**permalink**) 08-31-2008, 05:38 PM

I'm about to get a new Mogul on Tuesday, so I decided to try SPB to duplicate everything on my old phone to my new one, because the only problem with the old one is faulty wiring or some crap. Will I be able to export basically everything from my old phone to my new one using SPB? Thanks.

As long as you're running the same OS, which it appears you will be, I'd say so

Not sure about that. Reformatting the SD card would wipe everything off the card, including your backup file, so unless you've stored an additional copy elsewhere, e.g. PC, flash drive, etc, you've defeated the purpose of having a b/u app. One of the features that SPB advertises is that the backup can be used when upgrading or replacing a lost/stolen device. I think the best answer to this question would be found on the SPB website. www.spbsoftwarehouse.com

the laterst Spb backup has a Rom upgrade feature that reinstalls programs and all seemlessly. use it many times each week.

Sprite accomplishes this seemlessly. I've tried Sk tools and Spb back up with errors after, never had a problem with sprite, also sprite latest version allow one to sync thier back up with pc.

What errors have you experienced w/ SPB? I've been using it for about a year and no issues.

It works. I used it to clone my Touch settings to my Apache, and it did fine. Amazing product! It's almost as good as the stuff ya get here!
