Re: Best software for a 'real' backup
 

I use Sunnysoft Backup Manager 4.0 personally.

I tried Sprite and SPB back when I had my mogul and I had so many issues with them I tried Sunnysoft. Sunnysoft was the only 1 I could ever get working to save all my data.

I upgraded to 4.0 just before getting my TP2. All I had to do was email them my new device ID so they could send me a new registry key for the App.

So far to date I am still on stock ROM and backups are complete. I will be flashing to a new ROM once I am not the primary oncall for my job. Would hate to possibly brick my phone during my oncall rotation.

I use SPB back up and uncheck the following to prevent freeze. I also turn wireless off just incase I get a text or call during backup/restore.

Menu>Options
Stop processes before backup

What I like about SPB is that when I need to restore from a hard reset, I can just run the backup file without having to reinstall SPB first. I believe Sprite doesn't work like this and you need to have it installed to run a back up. I don't know if that's still the case.

SPB for me

Does SPB backup facebook associations in tf3d?

Re: Best software for a 'real' backup
 

You can do the same with Sprite. It saves the backups to the storage card in an executable file that runs without Sprite being installed.

I do a complete backup before installing just about anything, that way installing something new breaks something I just do a hard reset and then restore from my backup.

SPB for me never looked back

Sprite too many error's

Re: Best software for a 'real' backup
 

What do you do when application Today plug-ins are not showing up after a restore? I have both SBP time and Flexmail, and after a HR and restore, the programs work, but I cannot get the plugins to show up. They're simply not in the item list on the today setup screen. Any fixes?

[edited] I'm using Sprite.

I've never had this problem but I switched from using Sprite to SPB BU a long time ago (I own both)

When I do restores from SPB, the system comes back identical in every way.
