impossible! i can't find a good program for backing up my wizard.
sprite backup beta is full of bugs and sunnysoft backup manager 3.7 doesn't wake up my unit so i can't use it for automatic backup...
Please HHHHHHHHHELP
Those are your choices right now. I didn't find Sunnysoft was full of bugs, but I did have issues restoring mail, etc.
Sprite is a beta, so there will be issues. I haven't tried a restore of with it yet.
hi
How do you back up on wm5? I know how to on 2003/2003se but how?
UNfortunately WM5 does not have a backup utility built into the OS, presumably because of the new permanent storage feature. You need to install a 3rd party product I'm afraid.
You can try SPB Backup 5 (beta) or Sunnysoft Backup Manager (not beta). The latter is very stable and does it's job properly. I haven't tried SPB Backup yet. Sprite Backup will also be available for WM5 soon.

the more important is to backup the SMS and restore it when i need
please help me

I have used SPB backup since the beta roms were released.
i performed a multitude of different backups and restores.
what I did learn is that if you are going to restore, you are better off performing a hard reset or a clear storage, put your device back to factory position, then restore.
provided you are restoring over the same versions of the ROM you should be ok.
Sprite Backup
Seconded!!
Sprite Backup is the one piece of backup software work investing in. Has got me out of trouble on a couple of occasions now.
It backs up all your files and applications AND the various registry entries and hidden files/folders that get installed.
If you are a fiddler and like trying various apps and hacks it's a must.
Thirded(??!!)
My M5000 had a couple of dodgy pixels so replaced it.
Even using the old Sprite backup (v5 instead of v5.1) my device restored without any hitches - I had my new device up and running within 10mins - all applications working!!
I never chose to restore the email dB's though due to problems on a previous device and version of sprite backup - but is easy enough to setup again.

Personally I have both SPB and Sprite
Sprite is faster, but SPB creates a single .exe file that you simply double-click to restore; i.e. there is no need to reinstall SPB before restoring your machine.
So my vote goes to SPB (just)
Actually Sprite has the option to make "self restoring backups" since their latest 5.1 release.
thanks, I'll check that out
Sprite for sure !
Alternatively: Sunnysoft's Backup Manager (IMO superior to Spb) but does not reach Sprite (yet)
Cheers

Sprite it is.
V5.1 is just released and restores everything as it was before hard reset. Scheduled backups etc.
It also claims to be able to backup AFTER a ROM upgrade or to a different device. I have tried this and it hasn't worked although the guys at Sprite are on the case.
anyone has the software?
i need em to backup my contacts
PIM Backup
Check out Pim Backup from dotfred here in the forum.
It's my favourite backup program for everything including SMS.
It's free and works fine with WM2003, WM5 and WM6.
You won't be disappointed.
