PIM Backup

How reliable is PIM Backup?

I want to give some of these custom ROMs a try, but so far have been hesitant to do so because I do not want to lose my text messages. I figure, I can reinstall my apps, I don't care about call history, and I can save everything to an SDcard. The only thing I am really concerned about is the SMS data.

I tried SPB Backup the last time I flashed my phone (It was January 2007; I didn't realize that there was a new offical rom from Sprint with new radio, etc. in November 2006.) and it worked very well - except the text messages were gone.

Also, is there a way to do a full image backup? I know on a PC, you can make an image of a hard drive and then restore the drive from the image later. Is there a way to make a backup of my entire phone, then restore it later, in case one of these custom ROMs bricks my phone?

I want more out of my phone... Sprints last rom is slow and buggy and battery life is awful. I'd love to get AKU 3.5 or better (or WM6?). I don't want to lose what already works.
