OnGuard Backup gives you the peace of mind that the backups you keep on the expansion card are up-to-the-minute current and quickly available to you if need be. OnGuard Backup works in real-time to automatically backup individual applications.

You can use OnGuard backup alongside any other backup software: Keep performing monthly, weekly and daily backups, but let OnGuard Backup keep your crucial, frequently updated data and applications backed-up so you won't have to rewrite a single contact, one meeting or a note again.

IMPORTANT: Do not move OnGuard Backup to the expansion card. OnGuard Backup must stay in the main memory (RAM). Backup sets are restored from the card using OnGuard Restore.

OnGuard Backup can also be included as part of the NeatFreak Pack Bundles!

Version History

v1.14

• Added an option to Enable/Disable the global menu command bar integration.
• Added an option to backup the active application by selecting the OnGuard Backup icon from the menu command bar. This new feature is especially useful when you work with certain applications and want to make sure the latest modifications are backed-up. To show the menu command bar on Treo Smartphones, you have to install the freeware program FieldPlus. Butler and other shareware apps support this option as well.
• You can now create up to 6 different backup sets for each application.
• OnGuard Restore: Several GUI changes that make OGR more informative.

v1.10

• FIX: Removed the Backup before Auto-Off option due to compatibility problems.
• CHANGE: OnGuard Restore: The most recent backup set is displayed using a bold font.
• CHANGE: OnGuard Restore: New backup set icons.
• CHANGE: Other misc. changes and code improvements.

v1.09

• Should be compatible with the Treo 755p - Please report bugs.
• OnGuard Restore changes:
  • NEW: Option to disable real-time backups when the restore process completes. Prevent overwriting "good" backup sets with "bad" ones: This will allow you to check if you restored the correct backup set or need to launch OnGuard Restore again to restore a different one. Re-enable real-time backups by launching OnGuard Backup or selecting "Cancel" from the "Disable backups?" alert.
• Redesigned restore form:
  • Overwrite existing files check box: Select to overwrite existing files in the main memory (RAM) with the files on the card.
  • Delete Directory checkbox: Delete the directory and backup set files from the card when the restore process completes.
• Removed "No Settings" alert when the Restore Settings checkbox is selected and there are no settings to restore.

*** You must open OGB after installation in order to copy the new version of OGR to the card.

v1.08

• CHANGE: Menu is now compatible with other NeatFreak Pack programs.
• FIX: Treo 680/700p bug related to the Auto-off setting when the call is muted until pressing a button.

v1.07

• Some minor code improvements for the new backup on auto-off function.
• Updated info text on the Advanced Options dialog.

v1.06

• Release version

v1.05

• CHANGE: New dialog for quick removal of apps from the real-time backup list.

• CHANGE: ROM applications are no longer underlined (Add Applications dialog).
• CHANGE: Selected applications are sorted at the top of the list (Add Applications dialog)
• CHANGE: The monitored items list (from UM's log file) will list all items belonging to all of the selected applications.
• CHANGE: 'Delete Backups' menu command will now clear the real-time backup list as well as deleting previously backed-up files from the card.

• FIX: Better handling of invalid characters when backing up files.
• CHANGE: Requires confirmation when removing apps from the real-time backup list.

v1.03

v1.02

• FIX: On certain devices, OGB occasionally "forgets" it's registered.
• CHANGE: OnGuard Restore will now show the exact time, including the second the backup was made. This is useful when using the Rotate Backup option, to see exactly when the last ‘good’ backup was made.
• CHANGE: OnGuard Backup will check OGR's latest version and ask to copy it to the card if an older version was found.
• CHANGE: Settings and Monitored Preferences are on longer backed-up by default:
  • The settings are ALWAYS backed-up and this can cause a tiny delay when exiting applications.
• Under most circumstances, you do not need to backup the application’s preferences and the delay is unnecessary.
  • Add PIM apps. menu command will ignore the PIM applications' settings when backing them up.
  • Added warning when selecting Settings or Monitored Prefs.
  • You now have to explicitly select to backup settings (the options is no longer remembered for the next app).
