Click on the button below to download your trial version. During installation, you can choose to install either the Professional or Personal version. The trial version has a 15-day time-limit and displays a "Registration Reminder" dialog during HotSyncs.  When the program is registered, these limitations are removed. To register (i.e. purchase), please visit the purchase center or click on the "buy now" button above to go directly to our online store.

BackupBuddy uses registration key files based on your HotSync user name to validate licenses. The price of a registered pro version for new users is $34.95 for a single user license. The single user registration is valid for use on one Palm Computing™ connected organizer. If you have more than one device in your household that you would like to backup with BackupBuddy, then you MUST purchase a "Family Pack" license code - this allows you to backup as many devices as you have to ONE desktop PC - otherwise BackupBuddy will only perform backups for individually licensed handhelds.

Upgrades and updates are provided by Blue Nomad, LLC in its sole discretion. That being said, all past upgrades to date have been free to all registered users!
