Hi,
I have just downloaded the latest Orange ROM and was wondering what is the best backup software to use before doing the update. Any recommendations?
Thanks.
Yes I recommend that you use search or click on pretty much any link in a signature.
alright lockerdown
PIMBackup.
OK, thanks, have actually gone on and used Sprite Backup, which seems to have worked OK. I have had to install a couple of apps, otherwise all OK.

I usually run Duttys 6.1 Hybrid V2 w/Cube ROM, but ofcourse like to try other cooked ROMs just to see what the other cooks are working on. My question is restoring after flashing back to my regular ROM and restoring via SPB Backup vs restoring by Sashimi (which I have not used yet) or just reinstall everything by hand (we all know that SUSKS). Which is the better way to restore? Is there anything bad about restoring via SPB backup after flash? Thanks, Kevin
Depending out you are trying to back up you shouldn't use a back up program to back up from one ROM to another ROM. The back up should only be with the same ROM some people do it but IMO it is a bad idea.
Look at using UC complaint ROMS and you pretty much make your ROM flash exactly the way you want it to. Here is a link that explains it.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I am NOT restoring to different ROM, only restoring to the same ROM that the BU is built from. I should probably study up on Sashimi a that way I can rebuild all my apps regardless of flashed ROM. Thanks for the reply and Link. Kevin
Does anyone know how to reinstall the Sprite Backup software that came with the stock rom? I have recently flashed my phone and now want to know if there is a way of reinstalling it.

Thanks a million. That did the trick.
Hi guys,
Just want to find out which is the best Backup software to use before burning the ROM. Reason is, I'm used to using a few software and usually had some setting to configure to my style. But after every installation of new ROM i discover I have to re-install so many software again!
Any recommendation for a good backup software which could just re-install all the software to its prior state after installation of the new ROM?
I'm forever grateful for your suggestions.
Thank you so much for your time and effort!

Microsoft Myphone ! the best backup tool.

spb backup is the best.
I'd like to try out some MODs on my captivate. I've done the leaked 2.2 but I'd like to try some others. Is there a way to backup the applications and data I've installed since I flashed the ROM. I've done some searches which found clockwork and such but I'm unclear on what that really gives me.

Would it be too much to ask for a little elaboration? I'm in the same boat and a name drop doesn't really answer it for me.

OK I've done all my research on flashing my Captivate. I have rooted and installed Titanium Backup. I have also installed ODIN3 and ROM Manager.
Before I flash a new ROM, I have a few questions.
1)I have worked diligently to purchase apps I like and use often. Changing the ROM clears these and all I have done. How do I save this setup and where do I save it to? Can I flash back to my original with everything in tact?
2)Upon choosing a new ROM and installing it, can I go back into the market and re-download apps I have already purchased? ex:Beautiful Widgets.
Please understand I am trying this for the first time. PLEASE be specific!
Thanks Tomween1

Titanium Backup will take care of all that for you....
but yes, even if you dont use titanium backup, you can go into the market and your purchased items will be there.
apps that you purchase (pay money for) are bound to your google account. as long as you sign into the same google account after flashing a new rom or stock rom, you will be able to download all of those apps.
