Best software for a 'real' backup

shteigun · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2009, 07:05 PM

Any one know wut the best software for a REAL backup of ALL my data/UC is? I like to test all the new roms bu inevitably I seem to always end up w/stock with all the registry hacks/tweaks to make it my 'own'. problem is that takes FOREVER, and sashimi is a pain to setup EVERY little tweak and setting.
So what's your favorite backup program that will restore ALL my stuff exactly (kinda like Norton Ghost for PC's is what'm looking for)

Thanks!!

I use Sprite Backup.. It creates a perfect backup. Once I get the ROM tweaked the way I like it, I run the backup. Then I play around with other roms and end up going back just like you, I restore my Sprite Backup and it is just perfect.

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.

Any one try SPB backup?

Freezes while it tires to close whats running and I don't think it's good as Sprite.

SPB Backup is the best back up for me i tried 3 different one's including sprite and nothing came close to SPB on HC TP2

again this is my preference...

Do you let it close all the apps before it starts to backup?

It looks like it hangs if I check off "close apps before backup"

If I don't check it, it does proceed to save, but detailed description after the backup says there were few problems logged. I have no clue that the logged problems are though.
