Anyone having read my Definitive Pocket PC Backup Bible (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) knows the reviewed (1.5.1) version of Spb Backup (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en) 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 (http://www.winmobiletech.com/kuvat/Spb155AutoPINCodeEnter.bmp.png)) 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.
