I schedule my backups overnight. Let's say 11:00pm. Off to bed I go and my pda will start the scheduled backup at 11:00pm. It sits there and waits for me to enter my password to even start the backup. So when I get up and go to use my pda, it now asks me for my password and starts the schedule backup. Usually 5-6 hours late. And I must wait for it to finish to start using the pda.

It's not the soft reset at the end that causes the issue, it is the soft reset at the beginning that only Sprite does. SPB allegedly stops all processes without a soft reset. Now I have tried a restore with Sprite and it was perfect. I have not tried a restore from SPB yet.

I also have Sunnysoft and found it did not restore everything. Not a huge deal, but when I have two other choices....

Real world use...my pda doesn't wake up properly about 75% of the time for a scheduled backup no matter which app I am using (I purchased both Sprite and SPB). So, even SPB is kicking off when I start using the pda (not overnight). But that isn't the fault of either software app. And I have tried the wake up to full power and stay awake longer tweaks to no avail. :)
