Application Description:
BackupBuddy backs up all your files when you synchronize your handheld. Unfortunately, HotSync does not.
As a BackupBuddy user you are free from worry since you never spend hours or days restoring your handheld's applications and documents after an accident. And unlike any other product, BackupBuddy can completely restore a handheld after loss, theft, synchronization errors, dead batteries, resets, errant programs or malware.
When you use BackupBuddy you have a photographic memory for your handheld. During synchronization it automatically takes its own snapshot of every change you make to all of your handheld files. So you can effortlessly recall any combination of files from any backup made in the past.
And if a synchronization error corrupts your precious Address Book or Calendar data, BackupBuddy can get it back instantly because it maintains multiple historical copies of all your personal files.
You simply cannot lose a single piece of data when you have BackupBuddy Professional installed. Ever.
So give yourself a little peace-of-mind. Download a free trial or by the full version online today to see how easy it is to get started protecting your handheld data!

This is a maintenance release and includes numerous enhancements as well as fixes for Treo 700p compatibility including a new version of AutoSync. It is a free upgrade to current BackupBuddy 2 users. You can upgrade by installing a new demo version over a current licensed version on your Windows PC. A Mac update will follow.

Mac OS X version now available! BackupBuddy fully supports both MissingSync from MarkSpace as well as standard Palm Desktop HotSync!
Please Note:
there are no updates to the Windows version at this time.
BackupBuddy is licensed per device. Therefore if you have a Mac and Windows PC you don't need an additional license to backup on both machines. :)

Probably the best piece of software that I own. Gives tremendous piece-of-mind, in knowing that you have a thorough backup. Some initial problems with licensing, but the support was continuous and responsive until problem solved. Thanks Blue Nomad you have an unbelieveable product.

BackupBuddy is fine software. I used the trialware first and immediately saw how beneficial it was. When I bought the program I had trouble installing it over the old, but the support team was wonderful. They responded quickly to my emails and walked me through the process of re-installation. Having a backup of my data is imperative. Having a responsive developer like BlueNomad is invaluable.

This program is a MUST for anyone who takes backing up data seriously! Easy, intuitive and VERY powerful!
The support is fantastic, too. All emails are responded to promptly and all questions are answered completely.
