Sprite Backup Premium Edition speed

[ctmagnus]

I'm considering purchasing this software (link here (http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&jid=BEE39BAAF15DD28X57BDCFXBE37784C1&platformId=2&productType=2&catalog=0&sectionId=0&productId=65427)) for the ability to backup to a PC/LAN.

I currently can do a backup to a SD card in two minutes or five minutes (depending on the card) and was wondering how fast the PC/LAN backups compare to this. Are they affected by ActiveSync, or considerably faster?

Not sure about the speed as I just purchased it myself. I did discover that there is NO printed/.pdf user manual as of yet, you'll have to rely on FAQ's and their forums for any troubleshooting. I emailed them a few days ago asking about the progress of an actual user manual, no responses as of yet. Too late to bitch though I guess, they already have my money...oh well. :roll:

i find backup time can vary from 5 minutes to 45 minutes! depending on processor usage, that is over activesync, i haven't tried over lan yet.

just my .02

If I only backup Ipaq and the filestore and not any storage cards.....5-7minutes tops. Adding storage cards really increases the time.

It takes a little over an hour for my backup, but that is over USB and with a 1 GB CF card and a 512 MB SD card.

Thanks all!

I don't backup the filestore, storage cards, etc. Just the stuff in ram. So it looks like I can probably expect 5-10 min. My current backups (2 min to a Lexar SD card) are around 12MB.

Backups to a 256 MB SanDisk SD memory card with my 4150 take about 2 minutes. With a Lexar 256 MB SD memory card - about 1.5 minutes

Using the backup to PC/LAN feature via WiFi takes about 3 to 3.5 minutes.
I have never tried doing it via a USB Activesync connection.

All of the above just covers the stuff in ram - about 12 MB worth.

Hope this helps!
