I went and bought Sprite Backup and when I try to backup my pda from my computer or inside the tilt itself it fails. When I attempt to backup from my computer the tilt shows a white background then goes back to the today menu and if I try from the pda it fails. I installed sprite backup to my memory card, that might be the issue. I am not sure.
If anyone has a clue, thanks.
I am using it fine with my Tilt. I have it installed in main memory.
As what pete_c said install in memory.
Sprite Backup only works manually!!!
I have Sprite Backup set to do automatic backups every night, and save the files to the storage card. However, the program continues to try and save the files to the main memory! I then get an error message since I don't have enough room on the device for the file (about 70mb).
However, when I perform a manual backup (with the same settings) it saves to the storage card with no problem.
sprite backup
In the manual option of the Sprite backup i notice there is a PC option. When I have it connected to my pc (running vista and windows device center) the phone restarts and says can not connect. Any advise?

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.
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 guyz,
I have a strange issue...
I have Sprite Backup v6.5.4 Build 2 installed on my Diamond. When I connect my phone to the PC via USB cable (as a external HD) and I pull the cable out, it automatically starts Sprite Backup! Has anyone experienced this before?
I can close it, but it happends every time, which gets quite annoying...
Thanks in advance!
Do you have any backup files stored in the root of your internal storage? Try moving them.
If the problem persists, try uninstalling Sprite Backup and reinstall, maybe in main memory not internal storage.
solved....?

Hey Dave,
Thanks for your reply!
I didn't have any backups in the root. And I have Sprite installed on my internal memory. But I think I solved it...
The Sprite that started automatically was in fact an OLDER version than the one I have now. I didn't notice that until recently. I recently flashed my ROM so I knew for sure that no old version of Sprite could be on my main memory. So I looked on my internal memory. I found a folder named "2577". This is a folder that Sprite created, I think for restore purposes when Sprite is installed on the internal memory. In this folder I found alot of files of the old version of Sprite (I recently installed the new version). I replaced these with the new files of Sprite and now the problem doesn't seem to occur anymore...
I'll just see how it goes from now on...
Hope this helps for anyone who experiences this same issue.
Hi,
After losing all the data on my phone I decided to use an old backup made from TWRP.
Now I sucessfully restored my backup to my phone and see that all the icons are in place.
But to my dismay it didn't restore the "USB storage" only the "System storage"
Shouldn't it backup *everything* on my phone?
In the USB storage I have my game/apps data and save game files.
I'm 100% sure I selected everything when backing up my phone.
Thanks.
This once happened to me too... and soon after that day I began using Titanium Backup Pro....
Weird.
I dont have this issue when i backup/restore with CWM.
It mustn't restore USB storage which means internal SD card.Only /data,/system,and,eventually,/preload.
I do use Titanium for my apps.
Is there a way or a seperate program that will make an "image copy" of my usb storage?

hello!
I have a very big problem with my backup. Before resetting the phone to factory settings, I made a copy on HiSuite. I then transferred it to a flash drive and copied it to my notebook. After returning the phone from service, I wanted to restore the files, I connected the phone to HiSuite and pointed to the folders with the backup. The message "no backup files" popped up.
Please help me a lot, in this backup I have very important documents and photos of documents!
Is there anyone who could help me with this problem?
