Backup Software Experiences

I'm curious if anyone has tried a backup & restore on their Diamond.

Last week, when I swapped my Diamond with a replacement, I tried to restore a Sprite backup taken from my old Diamond to the new one. The backup seemed to go well, but the restore failed & locked up my Diamond several minutes into the process. I did a hard reset & tried again with the same result.

I then tried a backup & restore with SKTools, and the same thing happened.

So I'm wondering has anyone actually done a successful restore yet? How about other backup programs like SPB Backup?

I'm thinking there is something specific about the Diamond (e.g., TF3D), that these programs aren't able to handle.

That's good to know. From what I read, SPB seemed the most questionable. I have another replacement Diamond on its way, so I'll give the trial version a shot.

I'm interested to hear how it goes. I have backed up with Sprite but have not tried/needed a restore yet...

I contacted Sprite and they confirmed that this issue has been fixed in version 6.5 of Sprite Backup.

Hi - I recently purchased Sprite Backup version 6.5 (build 95) to use with my HTC touch diamond. I have done several backups to the internal storage on my device, but have not yet attempted any restores.

I read on your forum that there was a known issue with 6.2.2 and restoring on the HTC Diamond where a hard reset was needed after the restore with Sprite Backup hung:

Sprite Software • View topic - Backup 6.2.2. breaks HTC Diamond

Has this issue been fixed in version 6.5? I don't want to attempt a restore only to find that I cannot do it successfully...

Thanks,
