On PC, I have used Drive Image/Ghost to image my machine
If something goes wrong, I just restore my image, and I am back in business

Is there any similar backup/image program for Wing/WM6.1?

Thanks!

I think the closer to Ghost that you can find is SPB Clone...

You can use the trial and buy if you like i guess :)

Thanks for the link!

$299 for SPB Clone
$19.95 for SPB Backup

Hum... :)

What's the difference between these 2 apps?

"Spb Backup is an application for creating reserve copies of data"

SPB Backup is used to backup data and settings, but not actual Windows system files..

The main difference is that if you have a total failure you'll have to reinstall your applications, THEN restore the data using SPB Backup...

I prefer the second solution myself personally, because newer versions of software always come out, and i change roms all the time so a Clone backup would be more or less useless.

If you are new to this thing i would suggest to first do a search on the forum and find PPCPimBackup which backs up all phone settings (contacts, messages etc), and just organise your data so that it's always on the storage card, so that in case you need to do a hard reset you have everything you need on the storage card + a fairly recent backup with the software i mentioned above.
