Pocket Backup 2.0 in Beta Testing

Pocket Backup 2.0 from Sprite Software is currently in beta testing. New features include:
• Backup to host PC or Network Share via ActiveSync or any form of wireless networking
• Initiate backup and restore operations using the PC agent
• Considerable speed improvements for Backup and Restore using SD and CF cards
• Today Screen plugin that displays Backup status as well as battery and storage space levels.
• Advanced Storage Analysis tools
Pocket Backup 1.1.0.5 can read the V2 backup files but I have been unable to determine if the iPAQ Backup 1.0 included in the iPAQ 3900 and 5400 series can. iPAQ Backup is Pocket Backup 1.0. If it can't, be sure to keep a .CAB installer handy on your storage card as the backup does no good without the ability to restore.
