[Guest abatis]

Sprite Backup for Smartphone is a great program. Check it out.

These are the same folks that wrote Ghost. This program has saved me several times.

Welcome to the site :)

you can use Active Sync/Outlook to back up your contacts...

Further to kjk's problems detailed here :

http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php...sprite&start=15

I had to hard reset (ie: Clear Storage) this morning, OTA unlock - within seconds using the following link :

http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx

Re-installed SmartExplorer to access the storage card and ran the Sprite restore from a backup file I'd made last night.

As kjk stated, there is nothing in Add / Remove Prgrams besides SmartExplorer so in order to uninstall things I will have to reinstall them first.

I am being prompted with the 'Trusted Source ?' screen whenever I go into anything (even Orange's own Task Manager !)

SurrealStart had to be reloaded for some reason.

Otherwise everything looks pretty cool.

It's the Add / Remove bit that is annoying so I'll get onto Sprite and see what they say.

Anyone else's feedback would be welcome.

This program backups everything you add including the registry. This is the real deal for backup. I am a beta tester for another program. This is more complete.

[Guest Jerry Raia]

Any idea when the final version will be out? The beta runs good on my i600.

[Guest abatis]

Just a note.

I bought a second MPX200 and I ran the 1.5 backup on it. I than restored my other Mpx200 to it. Everything went great. I virtually cloned my origianl MPX200.

[Guest Disco Stu]

Further to my last post, I contacted Sprite about the Add / Remove problem and Windows98 support X-( and got a simple "all issues will be addressed in the final release" reply.

Have to admit that everything works fine after the restore.

It should be out "soon" we are just talking with orange and verzion to get them to sign it so it will restore the remove programs information and GPRS settings, things a moving along nicely there.

I don't think there will be another version after RC1, touch wood.

Not sure who you talked to Disco, but that should answer problem A, win 98 support. hmmm i can, but i'm not to keen. If enough people want it them i'd do a version. :-)

I didn't keep the email but I don't have a problem. Hopefully I'll have better PC facilities soon and using the SD card is fine for now.

The design is excellent BTW

[Guest g4mb17]

thanks =:-)

[Guest Dumdidum]

Is there a working beta 5 -link? the one above doesn't seem to work

[Guest jason8]

Is there a new link? Tried for a few days now, still not working... :S

[Guest abatis]

The link is closed. Hopfeully they are ready for prime time. Check their site. A very handy program.

[Guest awesterink]

abatis...any chance you are testing ALL-Backup? If so, how does Sprite compare to it?

[Guest]

Their link is down and no trace at all of any commercial version on their website.

What's that ?

[Guest Thomas Hall]

Good news, we've released Sprite Backup for Smartphone. Check out the product page here...

...great tool! have gone through the whole testing process and can say its worth getting it!

if you do scheduled backups you can really iron down your e200 and all you have to do after a rom update is a) connect to active sync, establish a partnership, :) run certification unlock c) install spritebackup for smartphone, d) restore your backup. your phone will be like it was before the update (data/profile/country settings, contacts, ringtones, homescreens/plugins, applications, etc.).

cheers, lutz

[Guest Disco Stu]

I agree: this is excellent. :)

Any guesses on when it can be used on the verizon/samsung i600?

[Guest Pagemakers]

Fantastic.

I assume all your email accounts & "My Text" words, T9 etc is all backed up too?

Same there wasn't a separate option for contacts, tasks and calender backup. I am not interested in backing these up really since I can restore them with active sync in about 5 seconds flat.

Great app though. One will will certainly buy when the free period runs out.

[Guest]

Brief question (and expecting profound answers ;-) :

Is it advisable to do a restore after having upgraded the firmware ?

Isn't there the risk of overwriting newer system files ?

Or is this risk not existing, because all those updated (system) files are protected somehow ?

Can anyone explain this here please ?

Thx.

[Guest Richie M]

Just to say this an excellent piece of software, well done Thomas =D>

Definitley one to buy!

I had to upgrade my Tanager yesterday, ran Sprite Backup before the upgrade, then restored afterwards (after OTA unlocking) and bingo everything was back how it was :D and most importantly all my SMS's!

[Guest Pagemakers]

I bought it too. Works as advertised. Perfectly.

Just need to buy the Pocket PC version now!
