jadoe05 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-08-2009, 05:35 PM

I have installed SPB Backup on my touch pro and everytime i try to perform a backup. custom or full i get an error message saying the the backup hasn't responded in a long time and asks if i want to abort. I hit no several times but it keeps happening and when i click yes my phone freezes. can anyone help?

There is an option to stop background processes, uncheck that.

For some reason, SPB BU does not work as well as Sprite in my TP (it always worked perfectly in my old Titan's)

I have been doing some extensive BU program testing lately (look for my posts in the software section). I have had very mixed results doing restores from SPB in the TP, Sprite & Resco on the other hand has been working perfectly.

Really??

I have only restored a couple times with Resco but it seemed to work OK.

SPB has not worked well at all in the TP. I have restored with SPB & then TF3D refused to run going into an endless loop of tap here to launch TF but it never launches.

I've been playing with this as well. If you are going between roms then, as you probably know, chances are your manila files are all different. What has worked for me is going into the advanced settings/choose which files to restore in the rom upgrade mode, and deselecting all the manila files, dll's and reg keys. This is a HUGE PITA as there are many files to deselect. Before I did it last time I went into the reg and set my scroll bars nice and fat, reset and proceded at the busy work. I emailed SPB about including a "do not restore manila" option in upcoming releases, but you know how that is going to turn out.

I'll search for Sprite- I' guessing it costs$?

same here, i've noticed how SPB backup isn't as reliable as sprite backup. then again, it may depend on ur device. jmort10 spoke of SPB BU working good on the 6800, but not his newer phone. to conclude, in my experience also, SPB BU is 50/50 vs. sprite BU being almost if not 100%.

I too had issues with SPB Backup, with/without disabling processes. Great program, especially on the 800W. Sprite (the paid one) works fine on the Touch Pro.
