I had to reload Sprite from my computer and put my serial (info I keep at home) back in for it to work. That sucks if I'm on the road and need to hard reset.

same thing happened to me before, Pissed me off bad, dont know why, it was like the backup file was bad or something..... I hope ya figure it out....
Post what ya did if so, cause I ended up having to re install everything. lol joy

I never had that happen. Weird. I've done like 4394* backups/restores.

*number may be off

yea, ive done a fair share also thats the only time it ever went weird, I also thought it was strange...Sprite definantly is the shiznizzle......

i just had to reload sprite first and the run the restore. everything went peachy. I think I read somewhere (Good Things cleanup thread) that the stock ROM wont run unsigned exe files. Kind of a pain...I now have my Sprite serial in a text file on my sdcard if I have to do it again. I believe there is a cab that will disable that signed nonsense so you could just run that one cab after a hard reset and then run the backup exe. If I find it I will post it. Still, in the end it worked.

Mine works well too, but if I do a clean rom install and then try to restore from self-contained sprite backup file (to the same rom version), my today plugin are no longer on the today screen, or available as options in the today item setup list.

I haven't figured out how to bring them back - which has made the whole sprite backup/restore thing pointless.

From that standpoint, for me at least, it's not a perfect backup - not like Acronis, anyway, where it does it bit-by-bit.

I have been using Sprite since it first came out and have always had real good luck with it.
I backup my TP2 about every day because I am always tweaking something.

Has anyone tried Sprite on WM 6.5.1,
I know the latest Sprite 6.55 worked on 6.5.0, but its not working for me on WM 6.5.1.

Just noticing this problem so wondering what everyone else is seeing.
