A newer version (0.20) of the best backup application for iPhone i.e. TimeCapsule is out. It consists of a lot of new features. These features are all bugfree and tested by me in beta stages. But the downside is that most of the advanced features are confined to paid users which is not that price according to me (it’s my opinion). I would also like to thank the developer for acknowledging me and our site in the about screen. Here is the Changelog for this new version. Stay tuned as many features are planned and will come soon. Also if you have any suggestion, please leave them in contacts and I will pass them to the developer.

To see the changelog and screenshots of the app in action, read the full story…

Known Issues-

• If you try to backup too many SMS in csv format, iPhone will hang. I have tried 800 SMS and it hanged. I will put a limit, just like the IM-style backup so that backup can be done in parts.
• WebClips backup will crash. Backup is created without problem.. it just crashes and doesn’t shown count after that. (fixed in new beta tested by me.)
• Restore of WebClips and CameraRoll will copy the backups to the original locations, but doesn’t remove the originals. It should, will fix this.
