i've been having the same dilemma for a year now. I keep leaning toward sprite, especially with the new version, and the bundle with terminator..
also I find the term user friendly rather anoying. sometimes I want to see all my options, and what it's doing, instead of a magic wand.

good luck, I will be waiting to see what you decide.

also, there has been a slight benifit to not backing up the past year, as now I can do most of my customizations in my sleep.

I personally use pimBackup. and manually update my dashwire acct once a week or so. (if i remember to, lol.)

Will the SPB backup restore all of my pop3 settings for all my email accounts or will I have to do that manually?

SPB Backup backs up everything. You can restore from a hard reset using only SPB Backup.

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I purchased the SPB backup 2.0 last night based on the overwhelming response to my question.

I do have two additional questions regarding SPB.

I downloaded the SPB Backup on my home PC and then installed on the Touch. Can I also install it on my office PC and use either desktop to sync and do backups with the device?

The second question is whether SPB has online forums like many other software companies do where you can post questions and seek advice?

All the PC part does is allow a smoother sync of the backup files to the desktop, so I would assume you can use it on more than one PC without conflict.

As for a forum? Most definetly, a very good one as well:http://www.spbclub.com/forum/

and for Backup 2.0 specifically: http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewfor...7fc2a195eb37f0

Does SPB back up all text messages and programs installed?

Yes, doing a full backup copies everything off your PPC, when you do a restore, it is just as you had it at the time of backup. It won't copy things onto the card unless you specifically backup the card, but it installs all the shortcuts and references to the memory card, so unless you do a hard reset AND rease the card, your still good to go (but if you do, just have a backup of both the PPC and memory card on hand LOL)!!

You can also do a backup of PIM data only, and that will capture contacts, appointments, texting...

PS- If you use the unpack module on your PC, you can read and flip through your SMS righ ton the PC.

(PPS- You can also hook up with DashWire, and have all your texting synced online!!)
