Lumitrend CellBackup provides mobile backup
CellBackup now covers BREW, Java and Windows Mobile phones.
Lumitrend claims to support backup of all content on the phone. Knowing that you can't reach all the phone's data from Java and most phones don't even have access to the file system and PIM data, this can't be true, but if you have a more modern phone you will be able to backup at least most of the data. In terms of BREW and Windows Mobile this is less of a problem, as both have more full access to the phone's files etc.
The Windows Mobile version will be $10 one-time fee, which sounds like a good deal. I wonder though: Would you really backup all your music etc via the mobile network? It sounds pretty expensive and slow to do so.
