Sprite backup?

I currently have spb backup but apparently sprite backup can restore to new roms. Anyone tried that and it worked? If so, I'm thinking of buying it so I can ease flashing to various ROMS

I just looked back through some old threads and several people have confirmed sprite will restore to a new rom.

i tried restoring to an old sprite backup after a rom upgrade and it didn't work and i had to hard reset. probably since my new rom was with wm 6.1 whereas my backup was 6.0. i have heard of people having success but i would caution against doing it if your windows version changed.

Good point about wm version. I'm on 6.1 now but I'll keep that in mind.

I upgraded to the new Rom on my Mougul and the restore went almost flawless. It did not bestore my Voice tag but I had them baced up on my storage card. It also did not restore my rigtone assignments. It restored all ringtones just not who they were assigned to.

I have spb backup.

I did a full backup with OMJs V2 GPS ROM installed and every program i need installed and customized the way i want it. I did this last night.

If i upgrade to OMJs V3 GPS ROM, what will happen when i run a restore? Basically i want my phone to be exactly as it is now, except for OMJs V3 ROM flashed over the V2 ROM.

Will i have to manually re-install all of my programs for this to work, or can i just run a restore?

As far as I know, you can fully restore on the same OS version, as for different versions of a ROM (V2 to V3) its better to reinstall, because for the most part the backup will overwrite all the new and updated files with the old ones.

Generaly the backup should only be used to
