NV Backup is a free, thorough and easy-to-use backup/restore solution for newer (NVFS) Palms: Treo/Centro Series, T5, TX, LifeDrive and TE2. It will not work on older (non-NVFS) devices (including Treo600).
NVBackup is free and may only be used AT YOUR OWN RISK WITH NO WARRANTY AT ALL. It uses a different (undocumented) method for accessing data that theoretically should make it be more reliable than commercial backup programs on crash-prone newer PDAs (e.g., ones unstable because of incompatible third party software or buggy operating system).
Key Features:
- Daily (or nightly) scheduling of backups.
- Backs data up directly from the internal non-volatile memory. This should prevent crashes that may happen with other backup programs.
- Does not require a hard or warm reset before restoring data.
- Precise restore of saved state.
- Compresses and checksums backup data.
- Fast update mode that replaces backed up files changed since last backup.
- Selective restore function to restore one or more specific databases from a backup set.
- Encryption (128-bit AES).
- FTP server support: copy your backups wirelessly to your desktop (even automatically after each backup), and fetch them from there (wireless network access required).
- Atomic clock support: set your device time/date from atomic clocks on the net, either manually or after every scheduled backup (wireless Internet access required).
- Full source code available under BSD license (i.e., unlimited commercial use permitted, though I would appreciate being told about what use you make of it).

ledzepman: this program saved me BIG TIME! I highly recomend it! (700p)
meandmama: seems like it destroyed my 650.i couldent here peolple when they called. after a reset it was fixed, for one day. i ran the program once, then i deleated it. i think thats what did it. now none of my buttons work, none. the phone is shot. it dose nothing. dose anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
mar26729: Pruss has done it again!! this program is great, saved my device from the harsh & time consuming hard reset! fantastic and reliable on my 680
cleoo: LIFESAVER! The selective restore feature is particularly important, especially when I upgraded from the 650 to the 680, because it allows you to troubleshoot. Works great! Just one minor thing though, after it does the nightly backup and I have the security lock on. It corrupts the password screen.
lifedrivepda: I love this program!I did a hard reset and made a backup, And now if I ever just need a clean slate, I restore the backup!
griffinca: Great. Really all you need if you then copy your SD card to your PC on a regular basis.
oups: simply the best !
