Anyone having read my
Definitive Pocket PC Backup Bible knows the reviewed (1.5.1) version of
Spb Backup had severe problems with backing up PIN-protected Pocket PC’s in scheduled mode, which really reduced its usefulness.
Fortunately, the excellent Spb folks have fixed this problem (including some others) and released a new version of their backup application.
The new version passed all of my tests (I’ve made many tests to be absolutely sure) on password-protected
Dell Axim x51v (A12), HTC Universal and
HTC Wizard (AKU3.2).
Note that you don’t necessarily need to enter anything in the new
Tools / Advanced Options / Phone / Automatically enter pin coder after scheduled backup and reboot (screenshot
here) for the backup to succeed.
Verdict
Now that one of the major bugs (THE stumbling block for many users) have been fixed, Spb Backup has become a REALLY good alternative to both
Sprite Backup and
SKTools 3.x, my previous two most-recommended picks.
