Where to Buy: MobiHand (affiliate link)
Price: $20.00USD. A fully functioning 7-day trial is available.
System Requirements: Version reviewed was for WM5, but versions are also available for Pocket PC 2003, 2003SE and WinCE .NET.
Specifications: Application requires approximately 1.2 Mb of memory. Recommended that Backup Manager be installed to Program (internal) memory.

Pros:
  • Simple and Advanced modes available;
  • Fairly quick, with good compression;
  • Simple, intuitive interface;
  • Password Protection available, but no encryption;
  • Can be run in background mode;
  • Automatic backup when batteries running low.

    Cons:
  • Log files are only visible through the application;
  • Activation Routine is a bit tedious;
  • User Manual not available within application & needs some translation review;
  • Canceling a restore can leave the device in unstable state;
  • Too many soft resets.

    Summary:
