By definition, a backup is someone who saves you when things have gone awry.  In sports, the backups come in to play when the starters are tired or injured.  In a war, the backups (cavalry) come in to save the battle weary troops.  In computers, a backup protects and saves your data from a catastrophic failure.  This is particularly important in the Pocket PC realm, where a failure could mean the loss of significant and critical data. 

Clinton Fitch (dot) com recently reviewed one of the top backup programs available for the Pocket PC, Sprite Backup 5.1.  In his review, Clint says:

As Windows Mobile devices have continued their surge into the marketplace, the amount of information being stored on them has surged as well. No longer are simple items such as calendar or contacts the only items being stored. Now many users store critical business or personal data, documents, spreadsheets and even software images for quick re-installs while on the road.

Today, more than ever, a backup solution for your mobile device is a necessity and no longer a luxury. Sprite Software has been involved in the Windows Mobile arena for many years now and their award winning backup application, Sprite Backup, is one of the best solutions available today. Sprite Backup uses a unique combination of a desktop client and device client which allows you to backup, restore and schedule the backup of your device all from your PC. Further, a copy of that backup is stored on your PC locally as well as on your device’s storage card, giving you an added layer of protection should you need to perform a restoration. Sprite Backup’s easy-to-use setup wizard makes using the application a snap and puts it well clear of competing products in this regard. Overall it is hard to go wrong with this application!
