Awesome-worth every penny!

I am having an ongoing issue with my Centro after a recent firmware upgrade. After the second or third hard reset, and trying to find all of my software to reinstall, I went looking for a backup solution. I used the trial version of Resco Backup, based on the rave reviews. I just purchased it-before I did the last hard reset I ran a backup, and after the hard reset I ran the restore and everything is back. Thanks for a great product!

True set-it-and-forget-it backups, solid

I have yet to have a problem with Resco Backup, and it has already saved my bacon on one occasion! Love the ability to set daily backups, and backup before sync, so I can test new software, and know that I can get my previous configuration back - or even retrograde a few days back (I keep seven days of backups -- hey, I am using 2Gb cards, I have space to waste...though it isn't a waste!).

A Must Have

Absolutely the best backup for Palm out there. Easy to use and fast, t has helped me manage my 2 Sony TH55's. I use my "beater" TH55 on a regular basis and back up about twice a week to the memory card. I then restore this on my backup machine. If ever something goes wrong with my everyday machine, I know I have a mirrored Clie waiting. Highly Recommended!
