Hello

I have an hx4700 to which I just installed wm5. The first thing I wanted to do was take a backup. But the "iPaq Backup" application has disappeared from the programs folder in the iPaq.

Can I install this again? Do I have to now pay for that software as well?

Thanks
David

Yup, fraid so matey. But I upgraded to the WM5 version of ipaq/sprite backup and they forgot to mention theres a hx4700 WM5 bug that virtually destroyed my machine. I got a prompt refund tho and I dont know if this was eventually fixed or not but I had more hard resets in one day than in my whole pda life!
Try spb backup. Its pretty good.

I ran into that problem to, I went to create my weekly backup and was no HP Backup to be found. I also got SPB Backup and really like it. I must say having a executable backup file is great for the stand alone recovery solution.
