Ummm . . . I wasn't referring to the AS backup software. . .
I was commenting on my success using Dell's Data Backup program as a free alternative to Pocket BU.
Sounds like you've invested your money wisely and are quite happy with Pocket B/Up.
(I like the convienence of backing up to SD card and being able to restore from a Hard Reset without the need of a host PC). My goal with the PPC device is to make it as completely stand alone as possible. (Typing this much on the AXIM is not easy)
I must be one of the lucky ones who has never had a problem with Dell's backup program [I perform full backups on a weekly basis because I store almost all my biz data on my axim]. I've performed dozens of rolling full backups with no problems whatsoever with the need to recover on (3) occasions that I can remember, again with no problems.
I also see little need in backing up solid state memory (cringe . . . am I jinxing myself); however, I do backup my SD and Built-In Storage to my PC very simply; I copy and paste using AS explorer.
Bottom line . . . whatever makes you happy . . .

Sorry, but you are totally wrong. The backup that comes with AS will not backup your cards. It will only backup and restore everything in your main memory. It will not backup and restore selected files OR everything as Pocket Backup Plus is capable of doing. And as can be attested to by others on this thread, Pocket Backup Plus is reliable. The same can not be said for the backup that comes with AS.
The backup that is part of AS is in the same category as the backup, firewall, defragmenters, etc that M$oft supplies with all OS. Very weak and hardly functional.
