Pocket Backup 2.0 in Beta Testing
http://www.spritesoftware.com/pocket_backup_2_beta.html
Pocket Backup 2.0 from Sprite Software is currently in beta testing. New features include:
� Backup to host PC or Network Share via ActiveSync or any form of wireless networking
� Initiate backup and restore operations using the PC agent
� Considerable speed improvements for Backup and Restore using SD and CF cards
� Today Screen plugin that displays Backup status as well as battery and storage space levels.
� Advanced Storage Analysis tools
Pocket Backup 1.1.0.5 can read the V2 backup files but I have been unable to determine if the iPAQ Backup 1.0 included in the iPAQ 3900 and 5400 series can. iPAQ Backup is Pocket Backup 1.0. If it can't, be sure to keep a .CAB installer handy on your storage card as the backup does no good without the ability to restore.

I tried this product in a previous version, really liked it
this version is even better, did a very big backup in a matter of less than 5 minutes.

They have made what seems like a lot of improvements since the 1.x series. The speed alone and the better UI are just great!! I can not wait until 2.0 comes out. This program has helped me out a few times.

I don't know what built in backup software the ipaq 3870 had but it, too, saved my butt many a time.

the 3800 series didn't have Sprite software's backup app. Starting with the 3900 series, Sprite's app was used.
Kathy, If you liked the backup app that came standard on the 3800 series, try Pocket Backup by Sprite. Even ver 1.1 was way better then the app you used. And 2.0 is looking great so far....

Don't worry, the guys at Sprite do understand that backward compatibility is important. With my *flaky* h5450, I have now decided to auto-backup every night to SD using v2, and this has saved me the hassle of going through a complete reinstall at least 5 times over the last 3 weeks. The built-in v1 restored everything, including the v2 beta of pocketbackup.
