View Full Version : looking for an easy backup (imaging) solution

I came across several solutions. All of them install on the desktop and on the movile device but is there any single .exe file solution that I can put on the SD card and run from there without any installation needed? Something like the GHOST.EXE DOS utility from Norton Ghost which makes a binary image of the partition that can be restored later...

EDIT...

or another solution that i would think would be perfect is... starting the bootloader, and use a desktop pc tool, to leech an image of the mobile device... or to replace the rom with an earlier made backup image...

Sprite Back up allows you to create a self installing back up - well worth it, the HTC Artemis came with this program as part of the package, it is available for purchase - Mike

I personally use SPB backup - has worked 100% EVERYTIME and it will let me either make a complete backup or just the info ie contacts & emails if I want !!!

Hope that helps ...

peace

thank you for your suggestions, i tested both already. as a third alternative there is the sunnysoft backup manager, it creates selfinstalling exe files as well.but the backups are bigger than e.g. sprite

sprite backup can do selfextracting backups to, look in the options (and switch to the advanced mode before)
