thank f*** for sprite backup

[weasel]

I just had by XDAIIs hard reset on me when I was changing storage cards :!: :!:

I took the opportunity to look at starting with corporate mode & think I might rebuild and use it in future, but Sprite backup saved my day.

Once I'd re'synced using active sync, I reinstalled Sprite onto the device and then restore from my last daily backup (taken at 5am this morning)

After 15 minutes or so, I had everything back as it was & saved myself a whole lot of pain recovering/reinstalling everything

Just thought I'd share my experience

If you chose to "make executable backup file" or something like that.....you don't even need to reinstall Sprite backup after a Hard reset!! Just execute the file and your device is restored!!

sounds good in principle, but how do you do that with Sprite?

Within SB

Options>Switch to Advanced Mode>Backup Options>General Backup Options>Create self-rstoring Backup Files

Cheers - I've found that option on the phone & set it - thanks. I'll try a backup later today when I'm back home. Does this option work for backups initiated on the PC or do I need to initiate them from the phone?

Cheers

What Version of Sprite backup does this and have they fixed the issue with txt messages? With an older version after recovering with Sprite Backup V3 I think the phone would flash to say it had received a text message but no new messages where displayed on the phone?

I have an XDA lls with active sync 3.8
Rom 1.40.00 WWE
Rom date 03/10/05
Radio Version 1.12.00
Protocol Version 1337.42
ExtRom Version 1.40.923 WWE

Active sync has a backup is this not good enough.
also what is Corporate mode?

I have only just got the phone so I dont know much.

doesn't xBackup come with all of the OS builds by default? I have used it to restore my device a couple times just fine.. and best of all its free and works
