spb backup vs Sprite backup

[starfish_001]

spb backup vs Sprite backup - which is most reliable in restoring backups?

can either cope with Rom upgrades better than the other?

[blcc]

I just use the backup function of SK tool 3.14. It's reliable.

I give that a spin - Sprite has been less than perfect for me

Sprite has a function called Upgrade Mode Restore. It helps to restore a backup file made before the ROM upgrade to the upgraded device as long as the device stays in the same OS.

Spb does not support upgrade mode restore. :cool:

Thanks - I've had a few problems with Sprite on my Hermes - it was always 100% on my Magician

May be worth another look


SKtools looks quite good - but bit slow compression seems very good

I've been pleased with Sprite on both WM5 and 6. The only file it won't replace is compimeh.dll in WM6 and that is a non-factor in a restore. It does have the device upgrade mode as well as a very easy to use interface.

This also happends with SPB Backup, but you can exlude the file from the backup procedure. It seems that the file has something to do with custom dictionary words.

How about Sunnysoft Backup Manager? There should be someone who makes a review about the latest versions of all backup programs. Since you were wandering what's best why don't you create a test review about backing up your device? :D

See my Backup Bible; it's also cross-posted to the General forum here. In there, I've reviewed all the current backup apps.

Thanks - I give Sprite another try but in the past SPB has been better on my Hermes

it's already 2009 and lots of features were added... what's the best among the two?

[Frank67]

I am thinking of SPB or Sprite Backup

Right now i use the Sprite Backup demo, they have a special
offer for HTC Users :
Sprite Backup and Sprite Terminator for $19,95

But i am not sure how save and good they are ... Is anybody
here who can compare both packages ?

[geronemo]

So what do you guys recommend.

ive heard that sprite works even after upgrading the ROM, what about spb does that also have this feature??

Pro's and Cons anyone??

Don't bother with ROM upgrade mode. This feature is not guaranteed to work 100%, unless you always stick with official ROM upgrade all the time. And, you don't get too many official ROM upgrade out of the lifetime of the device.
