Hi, I'm wondering if anyone know a good OS backup software for wm6, I have always used spb backup with wm5 faria's but now that i'm on explorer 1.1 I notice whenever I try to backup i always have error logs and when I restore the file the os run slows as ever, I really dont' think spb backup is very compatible with wm6, and yes I have the newest version too. Any suggestions? or anyone that use a different soft and doesn't run into any problem with restoring in wm6 I would like to know your input, thanxs.

I personally use Sprite, but I just acquired SK Tools and I haven't used the built-in backup utility yet. My restorations are not laggy, but I do get a few errors.

I'm not really sure that there's a utility built for any WM6 devices at this point, so you may want to hold off until an updated utility is offered and make your decision then.

Normally i'm using spb backup 1.5.5. But everytime I make a backup an error is reported. When restoring this backup no problems occure. So it should be a slip the program or so. I also used Sunny Soft backupmanager 4.0. This isn't giving any problems or errors, the only thing is it makes three restore files in stead of one restore file of spb.


So I'm back to spb, it still works great even with an error report.

Do a google search for that error and you'll find a registry fix to correct it. Something about couldn't lock compimeh.dat or something similar I'll bet. Has to do with WM6, but it isn't anything vital to worry about (as I understand it). Just frustrating if you want to do nightly automatic backups.

Iīm using SKTools and did a backup two times - on NotTooSmart vanilla and Xplore 1.1.
Everytime after backup I coudnīt run any message Program. No SMS, no Email, nothing. Just when I hit message in Start - Programs the wizard goes back to today. So I stoped making backups.

SOmetime I had problems to get ActiveSnc connecting after backup.

So just keep on reinstalling everything. Clean - Fast - und everytime some new apps.

I'd be curious on why you order them this way. What reasons do you feel make one better than the other?

I'm not questioning your order, I'm just curious why SunnySoft's is your number one (I've never used it so would like to know if I'm missing something).

Yes thats right. I said I stoped using backup - thatīs not right. I use PIM-Backup.
But there for you have to install everything after hardreset. Some people prefer just restore after a hardreset. For me I always had problems with fullbackup - so I only use PIM backup.

Because Sunnysoft is the ONLY ONE, that has never failed on me.

After every HR (e.g. after flash, but only when reloading a backup is apppropriate), I use all 4 programs for test purposes.

Just a hobby, ain't it ?

(had to delete all my dubble appointmens and contacts. Somehowe the pim backup restores not an exact copy so when syncing outlook and the pim doesn't see the comparisment between the items ....

I use restoring by PIM backup, when I did a hardreset without able to sync to my PC. When Iīm home again, I sync just from PC to device and say "delete on device" So I do not have dublikates.

Cool, good to know. I'll have to give it a whirl myself.

I think obsession is the word I'd use for myself... ;)
