Best Backup Software

[Guest xm81bpm]

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.

microsoft my phone can do most of that - shouldnt really b/u setting from an old rom 2 a new one.

download my phone on ur phone now, if you dont have a live or hotmail account, create 1. 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

Thanks. What about the other people out there? What do you guys use?

I use sprite backup before i flashed mine, worked well, if ya wanna try it i can e-mail it to u

[Guest mr_bungalow]

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).

[Guest AngusATAT]

I use SPB Backup. It works for me, but I only really need to back up my contacts for flashing to new ROMs. :)

[Guest Draconius]

Second on Microsoft My Phone. The only thing it doesn't back up are settings, configurations, and MMS...and maybe call history

I use Outlook for my contacts/emails/notes

or use Myphone

try using one or the other not both

I just got resco backup but I havent backed up anything yet I think the biggest thing I want to back up is my contacts

and Outlook/activesync does that perfectly

There is a very thorough review of Resco, SPB and Sprite here:

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...

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.

[Guest veroson]

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]

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]

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.
