Have bought the software a little while ago. Has been a lifesaver already. Really worthwile.

Now that I've written a positive review, do you think I can get a back-date 20% off? :wink:

Does their license allow you to install on more than one Pocket PC?

i used it for a while. but i have a question. after i perform a restore, do i have to delete the partnership and create a new one on active stink? did anybody use it to restore inbox settings? i ran into a problem where after restore i was unable to use wireless sync to exchange 2003, when i put in the server name i got an error message "previous settings haven't been removed yet, please wait a minute." i was unable to get it working. anybody have any ideas?

Soooo, which one is better...Proporta's Backup reviewed a couple of weeks ago or PocketBackup Plus? This type of app should be a MUST in anybody's toolbox. Has anybody got an opinion on which one is better, remembering that backing up just isn't good enough if the restore isn't as fool-proof.

I have had a useless version of this software because I misplaced my authorization code and several emails have gone completely unanswered. I wish handango could get their act together and implement a system like pocketgear that will keep your auth. codes in your file to be accessed anytime, anywhere without having to beg some developer for it.

And yes I included all the info they would need to process my request. It is a great software package just beware of the shoddy customer service.

Assuming you already have a memory card of your own, I'd say this application would be a better fit - it's more powerful.

I just bought this program a few weeks ago as well and I did a restore and it seems to work just fine.......except.....

I have a PPC Phone Edition and it didn't restore the Speed Dial contacts I have set up . I have about 20 I use and it is a pain to have to reset those each time.

I wrote to the software developer and they said they fixed this problem in their latest version. Great - I downloaded the updated version (which I already had the updated version - just downloaded it again from the provided link) and it still doesn't restore the speed dials. :cry:

Does anyone know of anything special you have to do to get these to restore properly? Thanks for any help....

Otherwise, I agree - great product - easy to use - smooth restore (self executing file!)

I am also using it with a PPCPE (XDA). I didn't know that about the speed dials but so far (-----) I have not had to restore. Glad to hear it works though.

I must give props where due...

Initially, I complained about the cost of the Plus version; however, with the first discount Sprite offered, I decided to grab it while it was cheaper. Within a week or so of buying & installing, I had a freak hard-reset. The scheduled-backup feature had worked that same morning, allowing me to restore my PPC to full functionality within minutes.

Seriously, if you use your PDA for anything other than just playing Solitaire, get this application, schedule automatic backups, and be safe.

Just my $0.02.
