New Sprite Backup Solution Addresses Windows Mobile 6 Storage Card Encryption Gap |
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprite Mobile Inc. today
announced the launch of Sprite Backup 6.1, the newest edition of the award
winning Microsoft Windows Mobile backup and recovery software. Sprite
Backup 6.1 adds significant new functionality to its already powerful
feature-set and is the first solution of its kind to fully support Windows
Mobile 6 storage card encryption. It addresses an oversight in the design
by Microsoft which rendered encrypted data inaccessible after a device
hard-reset. It also offers additional off-device content protection with
its remote backup capability which allows backups to be sent over-the-air.
Sprite Backup 6.1 also now provides smartphone owners a way to move their
phone content to a replacement handset.
Sprite Backup is designed to create a backup image of your mobile
device, including contacts, calendars, data, applications, configuration
and settings. This image can be quickly and easily restored to your device
if ever you need to do a hard-reset, effectively allowing you to be back up
and running within minutes, not hours. "It is the application installation,
configuration, and device settings that take the most time to reconfigure
if you have to reset your device," said Sean Connolly, Chief Executive
Officer of Sprite Mobile Inc. "PIM Synchronization only manages contacts,
calendar entries, and some data, leaving hours of time and effort still
required for the end user to restore their smartphone to its original
state.
"With the addition on remote backup capability and powerful desktop
management, Sprite has strengthened its leadership position in the Windows
Mobile backup arena. Sprite Backup is the easiest, most effective way to
protect your phone or device, whether from theft, loss, damage, resets, or
upgrades."
Greater choice for customers. In order to meet the needs of two
markets, two versions of Sprite Backup 6 are being offered. Users who want
full flexibility in the way they manage their backup and recovery process
will want Sprite Backup 6 Full Edition. This version offers all of the
functionality that previous versions provide, as well as the backup card
functionality. More cost-sensitive users who just want fast, reliable
device backup will be satisfied with Sprite Backup 6 Lite Edition. The Lite
Edition provides all of the on-device functionality including all of the
Windows Mobile 6 features, but does not include remote backup capabilities.
Sprite Backup 6 continues to be the only backup product in the market
that supports full protection for ROM upgrades for both Pocket PC and
Smartphone devices. Upgrading system ROM always requires a hard reset, and
backup programs that do not support ROM upgrades are all but useless for
restoring the device.
Availability
Sprite Backup 6.1 is available from 26 October 2007. The Lite Edition
has a MSRP of $19.95 USD, while the Full Edition of Sprite Backup 6.0 has a
MSRP of $29.95 USD.
