SPB Backup also restores everything on the phone. However when Sprint releases the WM6.5 upgrade on my TP2 that is running 6.1 I figured that My Phone might come in handy as SPB Backup might have a conflict as it saved 6.1.

The more recent builds of SPB Backup include rom update mode and new device mode so moving from 6.1 to 6.5 will not be an issue if your programs are compatible with 6.5

SBP Backup is far ahead of any other backup utility out there the only thing it doesnt do is store your backup file on a server but you can do that manualy with skydrive or any online storage site.

I tried the My Phone software about a month ago and decided I had no use for it.

I have version 2.0.1 build 3092 and they currently are selling version 2.0.2.
Do you know what their upgrade policy is?

That translates into 20% off of $25

NO room for warez here! You should delete that reference.

Actually I emailed SPB about upgrades and was told that if I was using the same build it was free. I had build 2.0.1 and I downloaded the newer version 2.0.2 and installed it over the old one with no charge for the upgrade. When you install the newer build the program automatically asks you for permission to uninstall the older build first. When you are finished all you have to do is enter your product key from the original purchase. I did all of the above and it worked like a charm.

If I had been going from a version of build 1 to a version of build 2 there would have been a $9.95 charge. The same $9.95 charge will hold true if they release a build 3 and I want to upgrade from a build 2.
