Keepin' to the Bright Side of Life with Sunnysoft Backup Manager 4.0

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:00 AM



Product Category: Software – Backup/Recovery
Manufacturer: Sunnysoft
Where to Buy: MobiHand (affiliate link)
Price: $20.00USD. A fully functioning 7-day trial is available.
System Requirements: Version reviewed was for WM5, but versions are also available for Pocket PC 2003, 2003SE and WinCE .NET.
Specifications: Application requires approximately 1.2 Mb of memory. Recommended that Backup Manager be installed to Program (internal) memory.

Pros:
  • Simple and Advanced modes available;
  • Fairly quick, with good compression;
  • Simple, intuitive interface;
  • Password Protection available, but no encryption;
  • Can be run in background mode;
  • Automatic backup when batteries running low.

    Cons:
  • Log files are only visible through the application;
  • Activation Routine is a bit tedious;
  • User Manual not available within application & needs some translation review;
  • Canceling a restore can leave the device in unstable state;
  • Too many soft resets.

    Summary:
    Sunnysoft was among the first vendors to jump into the fray (as it were) to fill the void of backup applications available for the PPC market. From the version history, it's clear that they see this as one of their primary products. With Backup Manager 4, Sunnysoft brings a considerable number of enhancements to their package and includes features not available from other vendors.
