Glad to read that you found a solution to it. I too make it a habit of copying .CAB files that i installed in my pocket pc to my SD card of emergency purposes.
Now for backup, you can use the built-in backup application that's pre-nstalled in your device which is a pretty basic backup application. If you want a more powerfull and have the ability to schedule the process.
I recommed SPB Backup Plus it's simple and a great backup software, you can try it out
here.
Another vendor is
Sprite Backup, i haven't tried this one but i had read some good reviews about it.
Good luck...
