Also, as noted previously in threads, Backupall does NOT remove files from the PC that were delected on the handheld. So when/if you restore from the PC you would get a bunch of deleted files. Unless you manually delete the files from the archive directory on the PC each time you delete them on the handheld.

Backupbuddy handles this issue for you. I tried both and am using Backupbuddy. It also moves the deleted files to a separate archive folder (oops! protection)

I use BackupBuddy and I have a Backup Module. The reason I use both is because I keep all of my programs on my 8mb flash module and all of my data in the internal memory of my Visor. BackupBuddy backs up the internal visor memory as well as everything on the 8mb flash module (obviously, the backup module only backs up the internal Visor memory). From what I understand, BackupAll cannot back up the flash module. Also, I like having the backup module to carry with me when I don't have access to my PC. Personally, I would pay any price to know that everything on my Visor backed up. I could never reduplicate exactly what I have stored. Quite frankly, that's a little scary.

Definitely!!!!!

I use backup all, but only after I move my backup directory to a new name (with a date).

So when the sync runs it creates a new "backup" directory with only the stuff on my visor in it.

Note that backupall does not backup the 8Mb module...

Yet Another BackupBuddy/Backup Module user

The combination of BackupBuddy and BackupModule works pretty well for all circumstances I'm in. BackupBuddy performs reliable backups every time I hotsync -- I don't need to remember to backup. It's saved my ass several times, and is highly configurable.

Backup module is for "on the road" situations, or when I'm going to try installing something tricky and want a memory image of my Visor.

Every time I think of losing all my Datebk4 preferences... yikes. But I don't worry about that anymore...

I recommend both Backup Buddy and the Backup Module to everyone

I recommend both Backup Buddy and the Backup Module to everyone, unless that person always carries a laptop around. Then the Backup Module becomes unnecessary.
