Re: Spb, Resco, or Sprite Backup

For the record, just in case anyone is still wondering, Sprite Backup is some of the worst software engineering I've ever seen. It's buggy, it has virtually no error-checking, and it basically throws itself into a backup process on a wing and a prayer, hoping that it makes it to the end.

The kicker? I had several "successful" backups from Sprite stored on my Touch Pro memory card. I did a hard reset and tried to restore the latest, only to find that it wasn't a valid executable. None of them were. Sprite Backup TOLD me my data was safe, but was only leading me to believe it was so I could wipe all of my data and lose it all.

DO NOT BUY SPRITE BACKUP.

Re: Spb, Resco, or Sprite Backup

I've been using Sprite for years. Earlier versions were very buggy and I had some of the same results at the last poster, but since v6.x I've been happy and have had good results.
Not trying to argue, just noting an alternate observation.
