I'm a beta tester for Backup Buddy and at this point it isn't a contender. I used BB on my Sony Clie and it was great but there are still a lot of issues with the PPC software. Here are the significant ones: 1. No option to pick what you backup. The program backs up your RAM, and any memory cards.
2. No option to pick where the backup is created. It gets created wherever you install the software.
3. Extremely slow. Backing up my x50v takes over 1 hr 40 minutes and that's with me cancelling the backup midway thru the SD card but before getting to the CF card. In comparison, Sprite does a complete backup of my x50v (no memory cards) in just over 4 minutes.
4. It looks like it doesn't stop all running processes so it probably isn't doing a complete backup like Sprite.
