Pocket Backup for iPAQ 2200 Patch

Sprite Software has released a patch that fixes some incompatibilities with Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC.
"Scheduled backups do not occur at the specified time, but rather occur the next time I turn on my Pocket PC after the scheduled time. Also, my device sometimes switches itself off when I have the battery monitor enabled. Why? This problem is caused by an incompatibility between certain versions of Pocket Backup and iPAQ Backup and the Pocket PC operating system 'Windows Mobile 2003'. We currently only have available a patch for the version of iPAQ Backup that comes in ROM for HP iPAQ devices."
There is a thread here that discusses alarm issues with the Pocket PC 2003 OS too that some have linked to the iPAQ backup software, so this patch may resolve that as well as the iPAQ Backup software may have been interfering with the iPAQ's ability to wake up. Note that this patch is only for the iPAQ Backup in the ROM of the 2215 and not for the full blown Pocket Backup Plus suite nor any other Pocket PCs. Just curious, do the 1940 and 5555 have Sprite's iPAQ Backup in ROM or do they use something else?
