Well Okeif, I appreciate the very helpful advice here and I'm sorry if this comes off rude but see, I'm one of those old fashion guys who looks more at what something itself is worth and feel that is what I should pay for it then a, hey, whats it worth to you kind of thing.
See I want to pay for what I get and if most other programs I see that have all the same features are all 10 or 15 or 20 dollars but this one is 25, then I don't have problem with that I just want to know what am I paying that extra 5 for.
Is it for some extra feature that is worth that much more, or is for some programmer looking to make payments on his wifes Escalade who thinks that since I don't have much of a choice I will pay what ever he wants me to pay him for it.
So basically that was kinda the point of my question was I was looking to find out what extra or special stuff this program had over others.
Again sorry if that is rude but I just wanted to make that clear.

Oh ok so SPB doesn't do incremental's.
To be honist with only 256mb on the device I don't really care that much as how long could that take to BU, but I do have a 16g class 6 card coming that I plan to fill up with music, vids, my GPS's programs maps and waypoints and as well use for any other storage I can so thats kinda why I was looking to have that feature as if I have to backup all that as well just to get a few changes backed up, that might take sometime.

Thanks I will look into that one.

Specifically, SPB BU, once installed on a storage card will remain in a 'program files' root folder which can be accessed no matter what state you phone is in(save for bricked, but still accessible in other devices the storage card finds itself); which makes backing up test ROMS, restoring corrupted ROMs, or recovering from 'catastrophic failures' really, REALLY, easy.

Now there's what I'm talking about as that seems like it would be a really really great feature and thanks for tell me about it.

Great thanks for the experienced info.
Thanks
