What is the best one out there for the wizard? Or any that are free would be great to.

Thanks in advance

no idea about best, or free for that matter!
but i'm using Sprite, its about £15 / €25 / $30 and worth every penny IMO - used to use the old one with ppc2003 all the time.

The best. Works Great in WM5. All that you need for backups...

I've been using SPB Backup for a couple of weeks based on friends' recommendations. Seems to work beautifully. Only takes a few minutes to back up the entire machine (I have a T-Mobile MDA -- HTC Wizard variant -- wiza200) running 2.17 custom ROM courtesy of xelencin.

Very convenient: I use it to back up EVERYTHING periodically, generally after each new app install. It creates exe's, and I have it saving them to my miniSD card. If my system gets messed up (within reason), I can simply run one of the exe's on the miniSD card, and it will restore the apps, settings, data, etc. in a few mins. Very convenient, works well.

Thanks everyone I'm using the Spb trail version now, I did use Sprite, for my MPx220 and I didn't really like how it handled the sms's I had. Hopefully this works out fine?

The achillies heel of Spb (unless they changed the functionality) is the ability to restore single files, folders, what-have-you when you are away from your PC. There are many times I have had to restore an accidently deleted or corrupted file and Sprite allowed me to do that away from my PC. From everything I have read thusfar about Spb you can selectively choose individual files and folders to backup but cannot restore them unless connected to your PC.

That feature and the ability to restore data after an ROM upgrade make Sprite the backup application of choice (IMHO).
