backups vs upgrades

OK, PIM Backup sounds like what I'm looking for.

While I'm at it, is there any program that can literally save a snapshot of my 6700, exactly as it is right now -- firmware, ram, and everything -- in case I want to do a "scorched earth" restore and put it back to the exact state it's in right now?

To do this, you'll need a program like SPB Backup or Sprite Backup. Both of those will do this, but to get back to where you are, you'll also need your carrier stock ROM. To get back to the current state, you would reflash with the stock ROM and then restore.

I believe Sprite Backup has the capability to restore after doing a ROM upgrade. SPB does not, but it allows (I believe) 5 free backups in the unregistered version.
