Has anyone used the SKTools backup feature and successfully restored a complete device? I use Sprite backup but if SKTools backup is robust then no need for two programs that do the same thing.

Re: SKtool exclusive thread
 

I have tried it tcatnat, it works perfect for me, i have restore 5 times on a treo700wx and couple times on treo800wx, no problems at all, full system restore.

Re: SKtool exclusive thread
 

All the features i have succesfully used with SKTOOLS are (full system backup and restore, Autoclean,Resgistry explorer, Freeup Ram) so far.

Re: SKtool exclusive thread
 

Quick question, do you need SKTools installed to restore or does it create a stand alone restore file?

Re: SKtool exclusive thread
 

When i created my full system restore file, i stored it into my storage card, later on i purchase another phone where i was going to apply a full system restore, i found a stand alone restore file in my storage card. Of course will be a good idea to install SKTOOLS on your storage card just in case.

It wont hurt o have Sktool in the storage card but it is definiltely not necessary, the back up its self is an executable program that launches and install, another word is a stand alone.
