Sprite Software has released their second version of Pocket Backup. There are tons of new features in the "Plus" version.
• Improved UI
• Backup to self extracting restore file
• Backup to your PC with the included Sprite PC Service
• PocketMon Today Screen plugin monitors backup and memory status
• Space Detective alerts you to bloated folders so you can clean them out
They have a 10 day trial. The app is $29.95. If you have Pocket Backup 1.0 or an iPAQ 3900/5450 with the iPAQ Backup that is really Pocket Backup 1.0 in ROM, you are eligible for a $10 upgrade price. You can also upgrade to Pocket Backup 2.0 for free but many of the features I listed above are missing. Sprite Software has a table showing what features Pocket Backup Plus adds on the upgrade pages. Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition devices are supported.
Side note: If you downloaded 2.0 immediately after it was released last week, you need to go grab 2.0.1. Just run the installer, tell it to repair and it will update your desktop and Pocket PC with all necessary files.
