If you keep a Sprite CAB file handy that's a big help. Just copying that to main memory (after a hard reset) and tapping it lets you find a backup file on the SD and use it for a full or a selective restore. Likewise installing again from the PC will do the same, but that's not always convenient. Like, if you're 1000 miles from home...

I've found the last couple of Sprite versions overly complex, visually, while delivering lesser performance. Too many bells and whistles. Restores sometimes don't complete, with an auto-soft reset interrupting. I've had to try as many as 4 times one day to get a complete restore. It could be that the code is scrambling signals relating to scheduled backups, but I've no idea really. I have raised this on the Sprite board, along with other issues, and Sprite has assured that they're working on it.
