I have decided it is time to get a backup utility. I have tried Pocket Backup which seems really great, but before I shell out $20 for it, I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations?

Cheryl

Thanks for your input. Yeah, I have tried backing up via Active Sync and it just doesn't work well enough for me. I am not always able to restore my backup if I get one done. I need something reliable :). Glad it works for you :).

I vote for the pocket backup software, It does its job really good plus it has a great today plugin, batterymonitor......

IMO it rocks!!

:D

money well spent I would say

I would also recommend Pocket Backup or Pocket Backup Plus (if you want the extras). I like being able to have self extracting files in case I am away from a computer.

I like the idea of the self extracting files, too. Now as far as the "extra" in Pocket Backup Plus, is it worth the extra $10 in your opinion?

I have actually found their battery monitor to be pretty good and the Space Detective is great. You can set it to show hidden files (which you normally can't do) and it also shows how much space they take up (and largest files). It also adds a short cut to the brightness control on the today screen. I actually haven't used battery pack (except for the program bar) since I got this program.

yes it worth it, you get a really nice today plug-in (pocketmon) wich imo is ten times better compared to battery pack and the others...

Cheryl

Pocket Back up- self extracting files,

Can you make your back up an exe, save to an SD card for example and launch it in the event your Ax crashes and you have your desktop close by?

Cause if the answer is yes- $20 is a great deal

Cheryl

Yes, I believe that is how it works :D

yes!!!

I have a backup on a spare sd card I carry around in my wallet. I a hard reset happens I just insert the card, open file explorer and double tap on the backup file and everything is back to normal!!!!

Yep, I have mine on a CF card. The pocketmon program will even tell you how long it has been since you did your last backup, and I believe you can schedule a backup every so often.
