How To Restore the Backup Copy
Spb Backup is an application for creating backup copies of data on your Pocket PC device. If for some reason you lose important information on your device, you will be able to restore it using one of the previously created backup copies.
Spb Backup saves your data into a self-extracting executable file, thus making restoring the backup a one-click matter. You can also choose to encrypt and/or compress the backup file.

Data Compression and Encryption Options Dialog
Provide the password and confirm it if you wish to encrypt your data using the AES algorithm (Rijndael). This password will be asked for further backup copy restoration.
If you choose to compress your data, Spb Backup will use ZIP archiving to reduce the backup file size (it will be approximately half as small compared to the uncompressed one). The file size is dependant on the real device storage space used.

About Spb Backup Today Plug-In
Spb Backup provides its own Today plug-in. The plug-in may contain information about the previous performed backup and (if only) the next scheduled backup. Besides, you can quickly open Spb Backup by tapping the plug-in area.
Last Backup.
You can always see information about the last backup performed on the Today
plug-in. If it says 'never performed' then there has been no backups yet. If it
says 'out-of-date' then the system date of last backup is by some reason greater
than the system date.
It may usually happen when you forget to change the system time
when restoring a backup copy.
