Hello. I'm looking for a program that backs up all the programs you have installed in your rom. A similar concept to pimbackup, except for programs. If u know of such a program it would be nice if you post a link for me :] Ty in advance.
SPB Backup, Sprite Backup, Resco Backup, all match ur requirement. Google those name...

Im about to install a "cooked" rom from over on the Herald section. Its not TOTALLY working for my phone, but majority are getting along with it.
What I would like to do is backup my ENTIRE phone to my computer (much like norton Ghost or any other backup software), and save it incase I dont like the new ROM. This way I will have something to revert to if I dont fully like the new one.
Is there a suggestion as to which program you all think I should use? I'd like to have a program where its an easy backup procedure, and also an easy restore procedure if possible. Im running WM6 currently on my Tmobile Wing (HTC Herald)
Thank everyone so much!
Active Sync will back up your contacts, calendar, emails, notes, files and program data.
In addition, you can use PIMBackup for your Call Logs, Messages, Speed Dials, etc. and either Spb Backup or Sprite Backup for a full system backup (i.e. you won't have to reinstall all your apps as long as you restore to the same ROM you backed up from).
spb and sprite sound like what Im looking for. Suggestion to as which one is better?
I think it's more of a personal preference, but for some reason I use Spb Backup. I've been perfectly happy with it.
Make that another vote for SPB, it backs up to MiniSD card, least on my Trinity it does, and following a hard reset, just run the exe on the card to restore exactly as it was when the backup was taken.
Has anyone successfully backed up and restored on a WM6.1 ROM (Bepe's kitchen, Tom's or Meschle's ROM's)
When I try on my cooked ROM (using Bepe's Kitchen - thanks Bepe, great tool!) using SPB backup I get the messages in the log file during backup:
2008-02-12 12:45:52 Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:12 Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:15 Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".
When using sprite backup I get prompted to restore in upgrade mode and it fails to restore my PIM and other databases.
Have I done something wrong in cooking my ROM? or are other people seeing this too. Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.
Thanks.
Matt.
No you haven't done anything wrong. The files above are related to PIM and SMS which are not backed up properly by SPB or Sprite' Backup applications on WM6+
I always use PIM Backup 2.5 additionaly to the above just to backup the PIM data.

Thanks Carty, have you managed to perform a full restore using both SPB backup (or sprite) and PIM Backup and still keep the activesync state so that all of the exchange data is not re-downloaded ?
can somebody give me a prog to make a backup of sms..mms..contacts..etc
thx
you can use sprite back up..it also back ups the systems
Backup
For backup you can use PIM Backup. I think this is the best backup app.
Just copy the exe in your device and Run.
(its a free software)
Here is the link:

I see a few people mention problems with SPB backup.
With duttys new rom due soon, id like to back up before flashing.
I've used SPB and Sprite.
Most people are happy with either. Sprite is my preference for standard Backups and PIMBackup (available on this forum) I use for all my PIM data.
I'm not sure if SPB have developed the functionality to match Sprite's but Sprite allows you to restore Backups without having the app installed (i.e. Backups are saved as .exe's ).
Also Sprite, allows you to upgrade to another Windows version (and preserve your installed apps), though I've not tried this ever.
Hope this helps
ill give them a go, thanks
i'd recommend PIM back-up

Hello
I would like to upgrade my blackstone ROM to the newer one from the HTC support site (is it good thing to do?).
But I don't want to loose any of my data - I don't have lots of them but i don't want to loose them (this counts SMSs, MOSTLY apps, settings and pics).
My questions is:
What is the best software to backup stuff?
I found that SPB Backup is very good.
But another question - how is this done? Do I install this app, backup the data I want (I read that I can select what i want to backup) and then upgrade the ROM, then install spb backup again on device and restore?
Can anyone please give me a little advice here who has some experience with backuping and restoring?
Thank you people.
Better way is to move all your files onto a seperate storage card or your computer, Download ppcPIM backup http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705 Then backup with that.
After installing new rom reinstall ppc pim backup and restore. I found tghat if you used sktools or spb backup then put a different rom on it messed things up.
spbbackup
very good software i just started to use it myself
it saves everything all settings for programs, tabs settings, tweaked settings everything. if your gonna flash, backup all your data with spb. it will save onto your memory card. then after flashing and hard resetting you reinstall the spb software onto your phone. launch it and choose restore then a few minutes later all your settings, contacts, programs r back on.
enjoy
superb thanks for both advices..I already to tried Spb Backup to backup my files but did not try to restore them yet...
Thanks
with sprite backup you can save yourself from having to install applications again. ive heard good things about it but havent tried myself. i think it costs also.
slightly off topic but i feel compelled to tell you that its "backing up" not "backuping"
I guess you are right...
thx for advice
