I use an exchange server so all my data is auto-synced. The thing that takes so long is installing Diamond Tweak, TF3D Config, Advanced Cfg Tool, etc... then going through every option, then doing manual reg tweaks on top of that, then installing all my programs and configuring all my mail and IM accounts and such, then configuring the settings/options for all of my installed programs.
Are you really telling me that both of those backup solutions will save all of the configuration and manual reg-edits for Windows and all of my installed programs? ...and I can restore such a backup on top of a new system after installing PictureMail and then it will be exactly how it is now, but with PictureMail working?
Somehow it sounds too good to be true. Wouldn't restoring every registry setting from my current system probably prevent PictureMail from loading? I mean, I'm sure installing PictureMail makes changes to the registry, which would then be lost when restoring my old registry... right?

first...you'd have to do a hard reset and set it the way you want first then of course backup....and yes...reg-edits for me have been placed back...even things like using a regedit to make my version of pocketcm the default the contacts app have come back...taskbar changes which include regedits as well have been put into place (battery increment etc)...if it doesn't then maybe my phone just moves so smoothe after i restore that i don't see the need...and i have quite a bit of stuff installing with a restore (almost 20-30 added appz etc....as you know manila changes don't come back....now if that's what your modding...then i guess i feel for you (?) ...but otherwise....you'll just be doing what countless fellow geeks here do which is redo---redo---redo---redo until you say "f--- this....i'm leaving it the way it is..."
also...you can always export your registry to save some of the changes to you made....certainly you already know that as well
