3) I know that Spb has a "Restore to different device feature."
I do not see a Restore option when I have my Diamond a
tethered to my pc.

Btw, I also do regular Backups to my Internal Storage.
I also have done Restores from my Internal Storage to my Diamond.

EDIT:
To clarify, I would like to Transfer all files from my 1st Diamond to my 2nd Diamond including Internal Storage Diamond using Spb Backup "Restore."
You're making this more difficult than it really is. OK, here we go ... (1) In order to keep a copy of your Internal Storage, simply "copy and paste" to your computer, after you have established an A\S connection. Personally, I don't copy everything ... just the important stuff, like my back-ups, cabs, etc. Any time you want to transfer a copy back to your phone ... simply "copy and paste" it back. (2) So now, in order to put your stuff on the "new" phone ... forget about the restore option, and simply "copy and paste" from your computer to the device ... and once the files are on the new phone, simply execute the restore from there. Of course, you need the A\S connection between your computer and your new device. Hope this helps.

ps ... I just thought of one other thing, which you probably already know. If I'm doing a restore after flashing a different rom ... I flash back to "shipped", and then to the custom rom that my back-up is based on. After that, I then do the restore.
