Hi guys
I installed the Q-Mobile 1.1 ROM on my TYTN II and configured it as I want to have it.
Is there a way to backup everything so that I don't need to reconfigure the phone if I need to make a hard reset?
Thanks.
Use SPB Backup or Sprite Backup (which was shipped with my TyTNII on the CD).

Do these tools backup everything, I mean installed apps, settings, keyboard, etc.? Or just data? I can't find that information directly written somewhere...
They backup everything, except what you have on your storage card. That is where the sprite backup resides. It got me out of a lot of bad situations. I now routinely back up before I install a new "fix" from the many that come to this forum. When problems appear, I can go back to the most recently backed up program.

I'd like to do a complete backup of my device so if I play with new software or a new rom or something I can get it back to the state it is in now by just restoring from SD.
I'd hope this includes all the data, programs etc that are currently installed ie my TOMTOM Etc Etc.
Is this possible is there a program that does it I have no idea DO YOU?
Sprite backup will create a self extracting file on your sd card. This will get you up and running again from a hard reset but not if youve screwed the ROM.
I second Sprite - I'm constantly trying new software and messing about with the MDAIII and Sprite Back-up lets me get it back to a fully working - GPS, updated BT device in just a few minutes.
Hi I'm tired of re-installing all my programs after every upgrade to new rom. I know people here were talking of back ups so they could get back all their programs after upgrade. I'm confused as to what and which folder to backup. Note most of my programs are installed in SD card. Messages, contacts and emails are no problem it's just the programs. Help appreciated. Thanks.
??? nobody knows the answer???/ Pls!!!

Sprite is the only app that can restore after upgrading your ROM. I suggest you make a full backup (including sd card) and use upgrade mode to restore after the ROM update. Make sure you read the FAQs first.
Is there a way to almost duplicate the flash memory, OS, Filesystem, contacts, by backing up the entire memory address? I need to restore it all to a new phone, my screen busted on my old HTC Atlas (T-mobile wing) and i need all my contacts and files. Something like Flash Backup for the razr? Thx

There IS a backup system. I think it's called Sprite backup or something. But it doesn't back up the OS and I'm not sure about the filesystem either...
Yep its Sprite Backup, and its the best one out there, it Backup/restore everything but the OS .............. your filesystem, Registry, Settings, contacts, Messages etc. ......................... I walk around with a most recent backup of my device on my Storage card and if I ever have to hardreset while I am on the road I dont have to wait untill I get home to setup my phone the way I want it .........................
The other one Is called SPB Backup, but it does not compare to Sprite. There is a good Comparison between both software HERE
The screen is busted on this phone, is there not a way to dump the rom like cooking a rom and then write it to a new phone?
Not for the things in the storage. Just for the ROM itself. Not without being able to install a program to it.
Greets,
I have a couple of questions about sprite backup ...
1) If I do a sprite backup, and then a hard reset, and then undo the backup, will I still have all of my programs and pointers to programs installed on the MicroSD card?
2) Does it also include registry changes (such as PTT and KaiserTweak)?
Thanks!
Not quite sure what you mean by the first question.
After a hard reset if you execute the backup exe file that Sprite created it will restore everything that you chose to backup.
When I backup I pick everything but the storage card since sprite restores the registry and shortcuts to anything that was installed there anyway.
Sprite can also restore the mess you tried to fix by HR. I did a BU and HR, then Restore only to have the same symptoms. A HR and rebuild from scratch is the only way I was able to fix my problem. It would work to make a BU of a good setup and keep it safe for later.
And that is the reason it is important to do regular backups. I do mine once a week and also right before I install something unusual or tweak things significantly. I'm using Sprite Backup 6.1 (Tilt owners can upgrade for $10) and have done a half dozen restores after hard reset with excellent results. I backup non-SD data to the SD card. Almost all my add-on programs are stored on the card so the backup isn't very big. SB 6.1 also supports remote backup to an FTP server which I verified works but don't really use.
Hi
I used sprite back up to save some personal data
I flashed dutties 3.3, but i read its bad to use sprite back to restore as the backup was done on a stock rom
however, i really need to get at some data from "one note" in the backup
What should i do?
thanks

It is recommended not to use a full restore when changing from different rom versions as a lot of system data, registry entires, databases etc will be different resulting in an unstable rom.
It is better to use a custom restore and only restore PIM info (contacts/emails etc). There are other backup apps out there including Sashimi which allows you to automatically reload apps inc. settings etc so process or restoring apps is quicker.
What you could try is the full restore and try and retrieve your information on 'one note'. Once retrieved (if successful) copy info on paper or try and save it to SD card. Then perform a hard reset and then only restore PIM info. Even if your full restore seems to have had no affect on new rom, I would still not continue to use this and would preform hard reset. You will most likely have restored older information from older rom and as a result will have possibly lost some of the newer functionality, graphics, apps etc of new rom
