Mr.Morton
Here is a great comparison side by side of Resco,Spb and Sprite. I know they all can do the job since I use all, it is just educational to use all and find out the little things that stand out

Re: Sprite backup
 

Very interesting article, thanks for posting that.

The thing for me is, there is one thing & one thing only that I care about in my BU software & that is this: The ability to restore the system to EXACTLY how it was when the BU file was created.

I have had both Sprite & SPB fail in this requirement at times (although both work perfectly most of the time) & I don't care one bit about anything else. I BU to a 16 gig card, so I could care less how big the files are. How long the process takes is immaterial also as long as I'm satisfied with the result.

I well remember the first restore I ever did with Sprite. The restore claimed it completed successfully & I restarted the system. When it got to the home screen, it was a hideous puke green color I had never seen before, all the icons where different & it looked absolutely nothing like it did when the BU was created...........

I hear you man, I am positive you are using the latest versions, that seems to help coz I never had the monster screen u described.:mrgreen: So far I restored with all 3 and had no obvious prob or any. That is why I suppose I am looking at time to BU and other features. Resco will let you know if anything didnt back up correctly on the spot and gives you the option to update/correct the specific issue if there is one. I say test drive it and hit me back

As long as I get my info back I am good too.

Re: Sprite backup
 

When you do a restore, do you hard reset first??

That is what I always did with my Titan's, but with my Sprint TP converted to Verizon service doing a hard reset can sometimes cause problems...

Re: Sprite backup
 

No I do not hard reset, just str8 restore

Unrelated -
Note: One feature I like that goes under the radar is the "Safe mode" provided by I believe spb pocket plus, I can find out. Anytime your soft reset like 2 or 3 times within minutes, the system picks on that and gives you an option for "safe mode". Saved me once, I was able to just get in, uninstall what I did and move on w/o restore..

Re: Sprite backup
 

yea, that's a really nice feature. I'm suprised WM doesn't already have a safe mode.

I am tempted to install PP just for that feature alone.........

Re: Sprite backup
 

I think u might as well install it since it is very light on cpu and you can uncheck all other features if you dont want them.

Re: Sprite backup
 

The thing is, I don't own the program & I don't really want to buy it just for that one feature (even though it's a good one)
