Re: I plan to flash my ROM, what files should I backup to transfer after flashing?
I abandonded backup programs when the rom craze hit.
Instead I keep two zip files on my storage card.

1. Windows.zip - All sounds in \windows dir, and some misc exe files like pacman, mspacman and their links
2. MyDocuments.zip - My ringer files, documents, and excell files from the \my documents folder.
3. I use pimbackupv2.7 to save my messages.
4. All my cab files are in a dir called \storage card\reload for easy re-install

After I flash, I re-connect to activesync to get your contacts.
Unzip the two files contents to their directorys
Set up your e-mail accounts.
Then I restore my pimbackupv2.7 data to get my text messages back.
I then goto work on my .cab files and other user customizations.

I've had lots of practice and do a complete re-flash.....back_to_normal in about an 45 minutes

Note: If you restore the pimbackup then sync, all your contacts will be on your phone twice.
