The folks behind the popular Windows Mobile shell replacement, Spb Mobile Shell, announced a new version of their other famous application – Spb Backup. Version 2.0 goes beyond its predecessor, promising smarter, easier to user and twice as fast backups.
Aside from the standard features like copying the entire device (settings, SMS, emails, tasks, software, shortcuts, preferences), storage card backup, scheduled backups, custom backups, backup file compression and encryption, creation of the executable backup files, the new version also brings:
- Device and ROM upgrade mode – allows restoring of the data even if the device’s firmware has been upgraded in the meantime. Very useful, especially if you’re preparing to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1.
- Spb Backup Sync – makes it easy to keep a recent copy of all data and system settings at a secure desktop PC location.
- Spb Backup Unpack tool – desktop component which allows viewing and exploring the backup archive on a desktop PC and pulling out single contacts, messages, and tasks.
- File Black-list or “Ignored Files”
I’ve no doubts Spb Backup 2.0 is a winner. After the all, the earlier version of the app was the best-sold backup utility for Pocket PC in 2007!
The application costs $24.95, which is a bargain considering it help you protect your data. More information is available on Spb’s website.
