Re: Best backup for upgrading stock ROM?

If that's the case, you can't really do a restore per se. You're best bet is to flash the custom ROM, then re-sync your PIM data and reinstall your apps. SASHIMI is great for reinstalling apps, reapplying registry fixes , keys, etc. But be careful when restoring that you don't restore system files or registry keys. You'll break or undo the work in the custom ROM. I'm not sure if you can restore PIM data from a 6.1 to a 6.5 ROM...you'd have to get someone else's input on that one -if you prefer not to re-sync PIM data that is.
Nah, actually, I have stock 6.1 and T-Mobile stock 6.5 is arriving Wednesday. I know that the leaked version is out, but I'm hoping for a slight difference, including a fix for the VVM. I have a backup app (Resco's I think) and it advertises that it's good for updating WinMo, but I haven't read anyone doing it yet. I know it won't save my apps (I have 170 cabs installed), but everything else, I'd like to try my best at. This backup I already have actually advertises that it saves apps, too.
