---SPB Backup Error---
 

So this is probably the 3rd time I've had to hard reset my Touch .. I use SPB Backup and it works fine; I installed a couple programs and everything was cool...went to sleep and decided to backup when I woke up and now the loading icon is stuck on the "WARNING.SPB Backup will stop all the application....etc"

Can anyone PLEASE elaborate on this? Before I was having the problem where the cube was spinning but the process bar was not moving at all, and after about 3-5 minutes it said something like, "SPB has been running (blah blah blah) and asked would you like to stop "yes or no" .... this is getting very frustrating as for I found the only way to fix this is to hard reset .. I have tried installing/uninstalling different versions of SPB Backup 1.6.2 - 1.6.3 and still the exact same issue .. I even uninstalled a couple programs on my phone that I thought might have disabled Backup to stop functioning correctly and NOTHING ... PLEASE give me some insight; if this has happened to anyone else as well; please share

I had the version before the latest on my Touch, and it took over an hour to create a 35 meg backup, and over an hour to restore it. I checked the website today, and there was a build from Nov 22 that I missed. I did a backup with it today, and it went in 1/2 the time. I still think there is an issue on the Touch, as it should only take about 15 minutes to back up/restore the phone.

When I get time, I am going to shoot them (SPB) an email to see what the issue might be.

Under "Tools" uncheck the box that says "Stop processes before backup" and try to rerun SPB Backup.

I had the same problem as you did and when I unchecked "Stop processes before backup" it worked fine.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for the info....will try and let you know

so far so good .. guess we'll see in a day or see .. FINGERS CROSSED

& BTW, I haved tried Sprite Backup but did not like it one bit, it for some reason wanted to backup 90+megs while SPB does the regular (20 or so megs) which is what I am use to...SPB Backup for me is the only way to go....

I've been trying SPB Backup and i gave up. At least I never purchased it. Now I'm trying Sprite and I'm also having some problems. Coming from a Treo, why is it so difficult to make a simple backup program?

90 megs?
What do u have on ur phone?
Sprite for full system backup for me is less than 50 megs with 1500 contacts and running about 10 3rd party apps and programs..
Just curious...

90 - 50 same different ;) ...it was so long ago I couldn't really remember although I know for a fact when I saw the progress bar for Sprite and saw how many megs it was backing up, I was like WTF ... AT LEAST 60 megs I'd say .. coulda sworn it was 90 though .. oh well...thnx for the info. for SPB about unchecking the box, its working perfect now (I repped you for helping BTW)

ALSO cykococo, I just checked, I have 35 3rd party apps installed on the phone;

Device Storage: 110.76MB
Storage Card: 441.22MB
Memory: 66.87MB

EWWWWWWWWW SCREW SPRITE BACKUP!
and i used to use SPB but because of people saying bad things, i didnt even try it with
the touch...
and even better, i found an app that beats spb (which i didnt think would happen)
Sunnysoft Backup Manager!!!!!!!!!!

And on average, my backups are 35-40 meg... thats with a ton of apps installed...

No problems with Sprite Backup here. Lots of issues with SPB Backup.
