Review: Sprite Backup 6.5

I’ve never looked at Sprite Backup before this review, so I’m approaching this as a novice, and to tell you the truth, I had to resort to the help file, and a couple of quick emails to work out how to get started with this application, but more on that later.
Sprite Backup is known as a great solution for windows mobile users, even allowing migration from one device to a new one, and across OS update’s as well. I’ve used another solution exclusively so I thought it was about time I had a comparison, to justify my product loyalty, or to be drawn in a completely new direction. As we all know a good backup solution is vital for any Windows Mobile user.
For someone like me, who is trying out all sorts of stuff, all of the time, it’s like having insurance, I never know what combination of software is going to  make my device unstable. Therefore, I make a backup every time I install some new program.

So do you think I might be tempted to make Sprite Backup my new solution?

Update: Sprite Backup 6.5

SpriteBackup has been one of the premier backup solutions for quite a while now, and whilst I know it by reputation I’ve never tried it. Not to make anyone jealous, but the team here at JAMM, received a copy of SpriteBackup, for Christmas 2007, I never installed it. My Bad. The fact that SpriteBackup has actually topped the 10 Million user mark says something though. What does that actually mean? There’s a hell of a lot of people out there waiting for updates.

So what’s new in this update?

A new interface, the ability to search your backups from the desk top/PC, desktop/PC backup manager, improved migration services [taking your favourite settings from one device to another], a one step backup mode for quicker, more convenient use and some general performance tweaks.

In saying all of that, I really have to have a look at the program, and see what it offers, especially since I looked at SPB’s latest renewal earlier. So welcome the SpriteBackup virgin, and stay tuned for a complete look at this update!

You can view all of the details of the update here
