Quick question about backing up/Ghosting a Hermes

[Michael_514]

Hi guys!

Well, things are working without a hitch...!

ALTHOUGH... my latest firmware update STOPPED cold at 72%! What a GROSS feeling! Re-flashed it and I'm okay!

Anyways, here's a question for you:

Has anyone out there actually used a backup program that you are 100% happy with?

I'm using WM5, by the way.

Prior to WM5, I was able to use several backup programs VERY successfully.

However, with my Blue Angel and Wizard, I just never found a reliable backup program.

I have two 8525's here, and I am going to flash the second one to the EXACT same firmware.

Therefore, I would LLLLOVE to just run a RELIABLE imaging/ghosting/backup program, and restore everything in one shot.

Has anyone found a reliable program? I'd love to know! I'll use it!

Thanks!

Mike

You'll not get better than SPB Backup (that I use) or Sprite Backup.

I LOVED Sprite Backup on my older HP pocket pc.

It worked like a charm!

Never had so much luck with it on a WM5 device, though.

Are are you really happy with SPB backup? Does it work flawlessly?

ie. If you were to Hard Reset your device, and restore it with SPB backup, are you then good to go, or "almost..."?

Thanks for the advice!

I install and remove lots of apps. just to try them out - some are a bit dodgy and require a hard reset afterwards. It takes maybe 10 minutes and I am 100% back again - no additional work to do, no settings to redo it's all restored. I keep maybe ten backups based on roughly 1 backup per week or so - takes around 5 minutes to backup to SD card. Over the past 10 months it's not let me down.

Hi Michael & Mike,

I liked to read your thread with ref. to "ghosting" (personally being a fan of ghost with a strong inclination for Acronis True Image :) ).

I go to the point.... I bought a P3300 in the NL and had to flash the rom with an English one (after unlocking the device with the CID Unlock tool purchased at Imei-check)... the SPRITE CD which comes in the box is in Dutch and I would rather have an English one (my Dutch sucks big time!)... Any suggestion where I can get/download a current version in my language?

Cheers,
