I liked th idea of having 4 backups and separate from my device.

I learned that I should practice; I learned this AFTER I messed up a backup. Please, everyone, take it from me and the company - practice so in an emergency you dont brick your PDA/Phone.

Basically it was all common sense. Any good backup plan should include all of the items listed. What I found interesting was the use of .exe self extracting for backups. Using this and then adding a password will keep my data safe ans secure. The data on my PDA is often extremely sensitive as it deals with patients.

I learned I needs me some backup'n to do! Cuz I don't do it much. Let alone several backups!

Well, I thought this was going to be one of those post something to get the prize but don't really learn anything type situations, but I really did learn something. The importance of having 4 backups and why.

The biggest thing that I learned is that I am an idot to NOT being backing up and that with their software it would be an easy process.

I learned that if you don't live by the motto: "if it isn't broke, don't fix it", you probably need this to put it back the way it was before you messed it up.

I need to do backup regularly.

Personnally, I liked no. 8 Read the documentation!

Can be summed up -- do it, use it and do it again! I used Sprite and loved it, but I didn't upgrade to WM5 -- Soooooooo...........

I realize I have become lax and haven't even followed my own advice

getting sprite now would set me straight again.

It is important to keep a regular backup available (and at least 4 backups if possible) to restore from in time of need, and Sprite Backup makes these procedures simple and intuitive.

I've learnt that I should keep a dedicated 'backup drive/sd card' and store some on my PC too. I've also learnt that I'm not being paranoid enough, and need to keep more backups!!

PRACTICE:
7. Dedicate a storage card for backup purposes and label it. Keep it separate from your device.

This a good idea so that other date stored on the card doesn't corrupt the backup file. I have never done that. I need this program to help me with this. :)

Good contest. Their Best Practices are hard to find. I learned that I should set a password for my backups. Something I don't currently do. Another Best Practice is to read the manual. How many of us do that!

I've learned that I need to "practice" a restore to prove that my backups are good.:approve:

Great advice!
