Wow is this util fast! I compressed a backup of my system (not including e-mail as I do not sync that) and it crunched down the back up to about 8.5MB, and shipped it over to my SD card in just over 5 minutes. Quite impressive!

Just curious.. have you not tried the backup app that is built into the Axim? It will also backup directly to the SD Card.

I find it to be just as fast and just as thorough as PocketBackup Plus, which I trialed.

I have found the fastest way to perform a backup up is to backup the RAM on the Axim to either a SD/CF card, and then put the SD/CF card in a Card Reader on your PC, and back that up. Leaps and bounds faster than anything else, even a Pocket Backup Wifi connection to the Axim takes an eternity in comparison.

So... all I was using PB+ for was doing a backup of the RAM to my SD card. The Built-in backup program does the same thing just as well, just as fast, for me.

Despite a 2 week trial, I found no compelling reason to register it, and deleted it from my Axim.
