Moliere's M.Jourdain learned with alacrity that he'd been speaking prose all his life.
Today I was equally astonished to discover, after five years of using the Pro version of Titanium Backup, this capability:
"TB Web Server: download/upload all your backups as a single ZIP file on your computer through a Web interface."
Once your cell phone has a WiFi connection to your computer, hit the Menu option in TiBu, then start the Web Server.

What are the differences between Xbackup and the backup program in Activesync? I am familiar with the one included in Activesync.
What I really want is something like Ghost for a desktop - something where I can screw with the registry or programs and if I mess something up I can just install that "image" and have everything fixed and like it was before. Can either of these do that?
I think your best bet is to pick-up Sprite Backup. It images your entire device into a self-extracting EXE file that you can store on a memory card.
It can also be used to save your programs and other files between software upgrades. A very handy program!
N.
Where do I get it? How much does it cost, if anything? Any other tips in its installation or use? Anyone else have any comments or thoughts?
Just remember that these types of backup can not be restored when you do a ROM upgrade.
I use WebIS Mail and store all my emails on the unit's internal storage card. I still have not found a way to back up all my sms and mms messages. So on every full reinstall or ROM upgrade, I loose all my sms and mms messages . The only app I have used to back up my text messages is Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook. However, it does slow down Outlook when you open it.
I guess I would like something that allows me to store a file on my SD card that I can re-install if I were to have trouble out and about, as it were.
Tell me more about this Jeyo Mobile Extender. What does it do?
As for backing up SMS and MMS messages can't you (and this is just theory, I have not tried it yet) move all messages in your SMS or MMS inboxs to your Outlook inbox and then sync up and move them into your inbox in Outlook on your desktop and then reverse the process to put them back in?

Google: Jeyo Mobile Extender
It's a valid theory, but I'm looking for an application that will backup my mms and sms files real time via wifi or usb. Jeyo Mobile Extender still doesn't have the option to sync via wifi. At least I have not gotten it to work properly. Syncing via USB works like a charm though.
For many years, I have been a user of “notes” in WM devices. I now have accumulated quite a list of them and I use them routinely. They have always resided on an SD card which I swapped when I changed devices.
Has anyone discovered a way to get these “notes” into the new devices? A cloud-based solution is certainly acceptable for transfer of the data, but not for storage. I require device-based storage for almost everything as I spend a lot of time removed from any source of connectivity.
Thanks!
At the moment, there currently is no way to sync files other than media (photos, music, videos, podcasts, which are sync'd through the Zune software).
You can however, store your file online (such as through SkyDrive), and then download them using the phone's web browser. When you download files from the web, they certainly get stored somewhere, but since there is no file browser, you can't browse to a directory and tap the file to start it. For example, when you load a PDF file from the web on your phone, it gets downloaded somewhere, but if you decide to look at the PDF again in the future, you can only access that from the Adobe Reader app, where it gets listed until you decide to remove it.
That being said, I don't think that Windows Phone supports the old Windows Mobile Notes files though, so I'm not sure how you would view them on Windows Phone 7.
An alternative would be to convert over to OneNote and use the online syncing capability (which rocks). Create your notes on your desktop, online, or on your phone and they can automatically stay in sync with each other.
I am not quite sure if you mean this but if you go to office then onenote and then press all you can sync them.
I only used office 2010 for some months, but I think you can create a online link and connect it to your phone.
The data is stored on the phone and if you edit something it will be synced the next time if you are online.
I hope i helped as i am not quite sure myself and I am waiting to get office 2010.

It's pretty easy to set up skydrive to sync with OneNote on your phone. I used cut and paste on my pc to copy my notes from Outlook to OneNote on my browser (skydrive), then synced the phone. Now any changes to the notes - made either on the web app or the phone - get synced automatically. Very convenient after all the initial copying.
another vote for oneNote, the default notbook works great, in system settings go to applications > onenote and slide the sync slider, they'll give you more info, read it, they won't tell you again.
I also setup a second notebook to share with a business partner on my PC, the link showed up in my ME tile, I clicked it out of curiosity, now it's synced too!
+1 for one note, a very convenient solution, not something i had used before now, but i am becoming increasingly reliant on it!
Title says it all. I was wondering if anyone has used the new Titanium app. Media Sync and what you liked or didn't like? Is it worth it? How is the battery drain using it?
Surprised that no has responded to this..
mmm... will have to try it myself
I'm using it but on milestone.
Seems good, works well for continuous remote backup of specific folder I,e, photos.
Apparently cannot set folders to continually synce down from the cloud though which is annoying as I wanted to leave it downloading videos from my desktop as they are converted while I sleep saving me from manual transfer time in the morning.
Bummer.
Works well
I'm using it on CM7 modded HTC Desire.
Works well.
Not a battery drainer because you can set it to sync only when you are powered, (or not if you prefer).
Syncs to FTP and Dropbox. I tested both and it works.
'Set it and forget it' (and if you want you can even turn the notifications off.
Worth the $.

Great app but does anybody know if it is somehow possible to limit the upload bandwith?
Thx!
I just tried out Titanium Media Sync (on HTC Desire) and was annoyed to learn that you only have limited options for the sync (currently "continuous" and "single one way"). I needed the app to upload (and unload) photos and videos from the device to a network location, ultimately to free up space on the device. However, with the continous sync, any files deleted on the device will result in deletion on the network as well; which does not provide much of a backup.
I ended up with Syncness, which is exactly what I needed. You can even configure it to sync only with specific networks, at specific hours of the day, only at A/C power, etc. (the latter is in all fairness also supported by Titanium). I can even save original file dates/info to the remote location.
Titanium has a nicer user interface but that's not worth much when the program doesn't do what I need it to do.

Syncness and Titanium Media Sync are not the same!
Syncness supports Dropbox & Windows Share (Samba) networks and works ONLY while connected to WiFi, while Titanium works on both 3G & WiFi and supports Dropbox, FTP, SFTP, FTPS servers.
It's really a shame that Titanium doesn't suport two-way sync.
I would really like to see a whole package sync
I just got titanium media sync but i have trouble adding my adrive account to it. CAN ANYONE HELP ME HOW TO DO IT???
Thank you!
I am trying to decide between Syncness and Ti media sync right now. Basically want this to automatically sync my external and internal SD cards to my PCas a backup in case I lose my phone.
I like that ti media sync can do this without being on the same network since I do have an ftp share. How reliable is it? Seems none of these sync apps are considered very reliable. Does it have to run all the time or can you set it to only sync at a set time?

Thanks. Are you running your FTP server on a PC? I set my Windows 7 PC up as a FTP server. When I drag a folder from local to remote, it says failed to create folder. Any idea what the problem might be?

I've been using Titanium Media Sync (TMS) for some time syncing one way continuous via FTP to my Windows 7 PC. I've encountered a real nuisance which I hope is solvable. Basically the phone and PC are always on the same LAN, but the LAN may change from time to time when traveling. I've found no easy way of modifying the account with new IP address of PC. The PC does have a name on the LAN. I'm wondering how to specify the name (within TMS) instead of the IP address. That way the phone would always find my PC. At the moment, I must delete all the sync'd folders and the account and start over with a new account and set of folders. This also requires deleting all the previously backed up data from PC. There must be a better way! Suggestions appreciated.

I don't get the logic on how the sync works. I hit the sync and im getting browser data of my tablet combine with my mobile. Is there a way backup one way (export) and then later on i can just choose which data to import ? Now its just random and the tablet, mobile, & PC all combines with a sync. I know there is a export and import option on the PC version of Chrome. But don't see that for mobiles or tablets.
ive got the app, foldersync setup with one-way sync, all my folders that contain pics and vids, to my local wifi ftp server, (contacts and calendar, etc, and small data stuff are synced to dropbox every 6hrs and when wifi available).
i normally have large files sync only every Sunday morning, but with the note 7 being a little explosive, I've got it running every evening (not all through the night).
anyone else have an easier setup to avoid data loss?
