Guest xm81bpm Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Im ready to load the latest ROM and want to backup my phone first. What is the best program (free or $$$) that will backup as much data and settings as possible? I assume activesync is pretty low on the list? such as call history, contacts, appointments, settings?, programs?, emails, text messages, camera pics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sync any options you want, then after new flash(most have my phone pre-installed) sign in and sync and you have all your stuff back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr_bungalow Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've used both SPB and Sprite. Sprite was a ton faster and worked on both my and my wife's old phone (she has an older Motorola Q9). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngusATAT Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I use SPB Backup. It works for me, but I only really need to back up my contacts for flashing to new ROMs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Draconius Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Second on Microsoft My Phone. The only thing it doesn't back up are settings, configurations, and MMS...and maybe call history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest natedawg1013 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I use PIM Backup. It works great with many features, but I have had problems in restoring files and folders. I kind of remember fixing this by unchecking "Binary Backup", but I'm not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Louie Schimenti Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I use sprite backup before i flashed mine, worked well, if ya wanna try it i can e-mail it to u I use sprite also and just want to make sure sprite restore will work after firmware update. I want to update but firmware upgrades make me nervous and I am overly cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest veroson Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 i use Sprite (full purchased version). But after the ROM update, when i tried to restore, it seemed to work but none of the program would open. I had to hard reset, and manually install everything again. Could have been (probably) user error, but Sprite didn't help me any after ROM change. I have used Sprite in past after a hard reset tho, and it restored perfectly.

Guest jaycarl Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I use PIM to restore only my contacts when flashing to a new or updated rom. Many people report having many issues when backing up files, setting, programs ect. It is highly recommended to only backup contacts to avoid having bugs.

Guest midiwriter Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) PIM has issues with restoring large text strings...usually need to do the restore twice in a row for your INCOMING texts to restore (OUTGOING texts restore the first time). Not reliable in my opinion, but I don't care as much about texts and emails as I do contacts, which it does beautifully including your photo thumbnails. I would only recommend PIM for my contacts backup and call logs. Edited August 5, 2009 by midiwriter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
