I've had this .cab kicking around but never tried it till today. Seems to work great on my Wing. Not quite sure everything it backs up. It only works when installed to the phone -- won't work if you install it to the Storage Card.
It creates a file on your Storage Card used to backup your phone.
My guess is, that you could create the backup image file and then remove/uninstall the program to save space and then if you ever needed it, you could reinstall the program and just run the backup file. Or just leave the program on your phone.
Anyway, I don't know if anyone wants it but here it is.
Cheers!
This is neat to have. My question is, does this backup my profiles in the programs (like games) installed so next time I install/backup the program it will be restored? I'm thinking about flashing to new ROM...
Thanks.
no
you have to copy that stuff from either the app data folder or your program's folder usually
i been using this since i got my wing. this back-up every single thing from reg to program data..
ok guess i was wrong then

Awesome, thanks man!
I just saved this to my storage card and installed it on the storage card, is this correct? Should I save it to the phone memory and then back up to memory card?

I believe the answer you was seeking was in the first post. . . .
The PPCGeeks forum shows some users experiencing major issues with this software - beware .. ! Hard resets necessitated etc,,,
I have a weird problem with HTC Data Backup... I first installed it on the SD card because on the page I downloaded it from it didn't say you have to install it on the device, later I saw some people mention it in the comments... I've uninstall it and installed it again on the device, but I can't find it anywhere - it's not in the Programs, or Program Files, although I see it in Add/Remove applications... How do I start the program?
Hi, it seems like i've messed up my phone. It began when the phone hung it self so i just powered it off and then on again. And now all my progs/apps that I've installed to the memorycard stopped working and i also got an error message right after the boot up. But I think I've located the error but I don't know how to fix it. When I looked in the file explorer there is a folder called memorycard2 which my memorycard now is linked to and the phone is reading from it. Although all my progs/apps is linked to memorycard not memorycard2.
But there is a folder called memorycard too but it's all empty, any sugestion how to fix this problem, I hope hard reset wont be the answare to solve it
thx in adv.
Delete that folder?
Copy all of the card contents to a PC. Format the card and copy them back.
Easy fix...
Rename \Storage Card to anything else. Soft reset. Delete the folder you renamed (not storage card as it is now fixed).
WHen this happened to me i think i took all memory cards out - disconnected from the PC and deleted the Storage Card folder - put my memory card back in and it re-created a "storage card" folder instead of Storage Card 2
Thanks for all the replies guys. I think everyones solution will work although I went with buzz83 sugestion since it seemd sloppiest. My phone runs so much faster now and it also enabled the hardware acceleration for SPB MS3, the carusell is spinning like a chamber on a rustless revolver!
Oh yeah, it did solve my problem!

It's because you changed registry values to have things like internet cache/history etc stored on your storage card.

sry to hear that
as of now I dont have an idea
just to understand it better: did you transfer them while sd was in x1? if yes, via active sync\wmdc or disk drive mode?
in the former connect method data is converted, but even then it should not dissappear completely...
what i did is just cut and paste using resco explorer and windows file explorer and the weird thing is that it only happens with video files and it still happening ,its not a one time thing.
thank you for replying
i hoped this is a known issue..i guess it's not common or known problem
So I was getting unknown reason 18 error when trying to install certain apps from the market.
I've googled and search the forum. The best answer I could get was to wipe and reinstall the ROM, which I did not want to do.
Then I checked the logs and figured out the problem was that all those apps that would fail were trying to install on SD card by default.
The solution: move all the apps back to phone, put your microSD into a card reader and delete .android_secure folder. That's it!
didn't work for me
Worked
That worked for me. For ever I could not update Sky map. When I could not install Angry Birds I went "searching".
Thank you for the fix.
I don't think it'll work for me either.
None of my apps are on my SD. I know this because I can't even do that. When I try to transfer an app to sd it the progress bar just hangs there (doesn't move it just shows the striped pattern)
It worked!
Hey ho, it worked!! Finally the nagging issue is resolved (for me)
I can't find that folder/file! :S
.android_secure is hidden, you need to enable showing hidden files on your file manager. I use ES File Manager and it has such feature.
...or, you can just make sure your app is installed on the phone, then unmount the SD before updating.

Holy crap! It worked for me. I didn't have anything installed on the SD card either.
when your market chache is moved to the SD then move it back to the internal memory and clear the market data...
Worked for me... Thanks a lot...
i've had this error for quite some time - i realized i need to move the app back to phone in order to update it and then move it back to SD card.
Will try this method!
Thanks for posting
thank god this!!!!! work i'm was getting piss off at is unknown 18 **** it was hunting me in my dreams THANKYOU
Please, I have the same problem but I haven't space in my phone to return the SD apps. Is there another way to solve this?
Simple FIX
Just take out the sd card, install whatever is giving you an error, then pop the sd card back in. No fuss no muss!
Nice SIMPLE solution!
Thank you. Didn't involve rooting the phone, installing adb, saying magic mantras etc. etc.
Thanks

Ok, so I figured out a solution that is hopefully "better" and "quicker" for all. Simply connect your phone to your computer (as USB Mass storage), browse to the folder '.android_secure' (make sure you can view hidden files/folders in windows) and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec' (I just renamed it 'smdl2tmp1.asec.delete' just in case it didn't work).
Problem solved! Everything updates just fine now and I didn't have to move any apps back from the SD card to the phone.

Hi,
I tried to install some apps from Play Store to my HTC HD Mini Android and i get this error: 'Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card', no matter how many times i try to install it.
Since i cannot unmount the sd card because the android setup is residing in the root of the sd, what can I do?
Thanks,
Daniel
Thank YOU!!!!

When I had this problem, none of the above solutions worked. I finally discovered this problem seems to occur with some apps after I have installed a Custom Recovery. So, I fixed it by installing these "certain apps" before installing the Custom Recovery.

Any news on this? I'm having the same issue, though it only seems to affect the two paid apps I'm trying to install: Apex Launcher Pro and Doggcatcher. Using an HTC One as well, so no unmounting SD.

Thanks, had to use this today. If I may add to your solution just a bit, in my case a bunch of apps had been uninstalled by something, not sure what, but I was not even able to restore them from TB, so, after re-installing app you can go into TB and restore the data from the lost apps. Thanks again :good::good:
It Worked Like a Charm!
Thank you so much for this solution!! I just could not figure out why eBay's app and Facebook's Page Manager would not update and you just made my day with this simple solution. For those having this problem, after you unmount the SD card and try to update, it will appear as if you are doing a complete new installation. Just proceed and them remount the SD card as @jongz.travelmate suggested
It worked dude
Thanks a lot ...
But I wanted to ask that all my softwares are on my sd card and after I unmount it ofcourse I can't access them.
So I have to download ALL of them again if I want to install any :crying:
So is there any other solution with no unmounting of sd card?
Plzzzz I need your help seriously as I am in a lot of trouble because of this :crying:
I want some permanant solution if you can provide
Plzzzzz help!
