Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

I used SPB on my Mogul, after Sprite had a couple of issues. This was all decided over 2 years ago, using the versions out then. SPB seemed better, to me, at that time. However, at least the version I have seems to have caused an issue with the speed dialer. At least the problem went away when I uninstalled it.

Does anyone have any experience with either program on the TP2? If SPB, is it a newer version than they had 2 years ago?

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Dont know on the TP2, but on my TP1 i rather use the SPB backup.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

If it helps, I have version 1.6.2, is that an older version than people use with TF3D?

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

I like sprite...used it for years with no issues...EXCEPT it would not migrate my TP to TP2...had to start from scratch](*,)....but It works well without that!

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Yeah! to migrate from one device to another it has to be the same kind of device. I migrate my treo700wx into my 800w and looks really funny, i knew wasnt going to work but i was just testing, hard reset it and it came back to normal.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

on past devices i used spb backup... i remember a similar thread i came across a year ago, it seemed everyone liked both but the majority seemed to lean towards spb.

Sprite works but it took nearly 37 minutes for a restore on my TP2- I did a lot of nail biting during that time thinking that it had crashed several times. I started a support thread here: http://getsatisfaction.com/spritemob...urce=new_topic

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

SKTools has a utillity that has the power of AdvancedConfig and has a backup function that transfers all my E-mail and call logs separate from the programs.
ListView columns auto-width fix for WM6.5
I can even browse each archive right on the device.
Extract any file to any where.
Also the Un-Packer works on the PC.
But it also is ROM specific, Just for the cooked in programs.
It can export .reg entries as .cab files.
The free trial only lets you backup 6 items.
But its well worth the $16.99.

I just realized that I was using an old version of SPB. I am going to try the new version now. I like the full backup programs best, because the restores including everything, all the changes, tweaks, settings, etc., that I've put time into.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Well, the new version of SPB shocks me, in that a full backup took about 3 minutes. It took much much longer using the old version on the Mogul. They must have a much better algorithem

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

i like the sktools ! one of the best ?

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

SPBBackup has been my most important app since my mogul.... Tried sprite but didn't impress me...

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Been using Sprite since I got my TP2 and it backs up nicely but I have had a few backups that refused to restore.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

+1 for Sprite

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

SPB for sure.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

I tried Sprite and it didnt work right. Worked great on TP. I tried to restore a BU that it said had no warnings when I backed it up but, when I did the restore it gave a bunch of warnings and totally locked up.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

mikenerd- could you see this support thread here: http://getsatisfaction.com/spritemob...urce=new_topic and maybe chime in so they will fix sprite for the TP2 thanks

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Just tried my first backup on the TP2 with SPB v.1.6 and it didnt even work. It just hung up forever. Thats what it used to do with my Touch vogue unless I backed up to the memory. On that phone it took 45 minutes for a 35 MB file ](*,) .Of course now I dont have enough system memory left to backup to.

So I tried Spb backup 2.0.2 and holy crap that thing is fast. It also worked straight to the storage card.....122MB file in 4min 37 sec.:headbang:

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Well guys according to this thread, looks like SPB Backup is more reliable.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

On my 800W I used SPB Backup. On my Touch Pro, SPB hung up and when it did work, I could not restore from the backups. Went with Sprite Backup. I have had no problem with Sprite Backup on my TP2.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

have you done a full restore on your TP2 using Sprite Backup?- if so how long did it take?- thanks

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Another plus for Sprite, Spb gave me issues and would not restore on Touch pro 1

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

I changed from Sprite (Version 6.5.4.19) to Spb Backup (Vers. 2.0.2). It's faster and more comfortable.

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Definitely spb - worked flawlessly on my old mogul and new TP2

Re: Sprite or SPBBackup?
 

Just used sprite backup today on my replacement tp2 and it restored in 4 min.... +1 sprite

Have you tried MSN Myphone , Dashwire, or Funambol. Funambol will sync information to Outlook also.
