Spb, Resco, or Sprite Backup
 

Spb, Resco, or Sprite Backup. Can't decide which one to go with. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for the comments!

I can only give you my experience w/ SPB. I've been using it about as long as I've had my PPC (~18 months) and have never had a problem with it. I suspect it works much as the other two do, by creating an .exe of all of your device settings, apps, contacts, pix, etc and storing it on your SD card. One of the interesting features of SPB is the ROM Upgrade mode. This allows you to restore your device when you flash a new ROM, with the exception of settings unique to your previous ROM version. Useful if you plan on doing any ROM flashing.

Whatever product you decide on, it's important you use it regularly. I have mine set to do a complete backup of my device every Monday @ 7AM. The time to find out you don't have an up to date back up is NOT when you've just flashed the latest and greatest ROM for your device and obliterated your 200+ contacts, email settings, etc

I'll have to agree with Geekcop, SPB backup is the winner for me.

I use all three, and they are all safe and do the job well with minor differences. I say use the free trials and see whatcha like man. I rank them in this order:
Resco
Spb
Sprite

On my 800W, the default Sprite backup showed the backups as good, but only once was the restore complete - errored out most of the time.

SPBBackup worked fine on the 800w.

Resco Backup always froze.

On my Touch Pro:

SPB Backup takes up to 30 minutes and at the end displays an error message indicating the backup was not good.

Resco Backup - never tried it on the TP.

I am now using the paid version of Sprite and it works fine.

SPB backup all the way

Re: Spb, Resco, or Sprite Backup
 

I am in the process of testing all three plus SK tools has a BU feature.

The new version of Sprite is awesome (I never liked it in the past) I did a restore from one TouchPro to a second one recently & the second one also had a different ROM (that is definitely the hardest test you can put a BU system though).

I did a current BU of the first system with both SPB & Sprite. When I restored the SPB BU, the new phone ran but TF3D refused to load (which surprised me as I've never had a problem with SPB before). I hard reset it & then restored the Sprite BU & the restore was absolutely perfect that time.

I have the latest version of Resco, but I don't totally trust it at this time. When I use it to BU my current system, it ends with a whole bunch of errors. Other people are reporting the same problems with it. Resco has a nice feature set but I wouldn't rely on it as my only BU.
