With TomTom, if you do an upgrade it just overwrites the current Files with the new ones.

Hi junger,

As with all updates, I recommend that you backup your PocketPC before you do the update. If you haven't already got it then get Sprite Backup. Once you've backed up your PocketPC to your storage card, copy the entire contents of your storage card to a new folder on your PC.

Regards,

If you use the full version of Sprite it will backup the entire PPC and the storage card to the PC every day, with restore putting everything back as it was.

Sound advice, but save half of the $30 and use Backup Manager.

I bought Sprite Backup Premium Edition in September 2004. At the time they offered a cheap upgrade for all iPAQ PocketPCs for just $11.75 USD. This is because the standard backup software that iPAQs come with is a basic version of Sprite Backup.

I had a quick look around the Sprite website and I can't see that deal any more.

The Premium Edition 3.1.4 was the last release, the new one 5.1 is only suitable for the Win2005 operating system.

Having never tried Backup Manager from Sunnysoft I don’t know how it would compare if tested against Sprite Backup Premier. However, I do know about Sprite backup Premier and I must admit that its brilliant. It will backup everything and restore after a flat battery or hard reset even when you are stranded on Dartmoor in the fog. And by everything I mean everything. Bluetooth settings and everything else is restored back as it was at the moment of backup. Couldn’t do with out it.

Hi Mullet
Ok, I have read your opinion regarding Backup Manager and it sounds fine. However, way back when I purchased Sprite Premier I hadn’t heard of Backup Manager.
If I had read your view of B/Manager prior to my purchase I would have probably brought B/Manager.
But ther you go, we live and learn.
