Best software for a 'real' backup

I use Sprite Backup.. It creates a perfect backup. Once I get the ROM tweaked the way I like it, I run the backup. Then I play around with other roms and end up going back just like you, I restore my Sprite Backup and it is just perfect.

Mine works well too, but if I do a clean rom install and then try to restore from self-contained sprite backup file (to the same rom version), my today plugin are no longer on the today screen, or available as options in the today item setup list.

I haven't figured out how to bring them back - which has made the whole sprite backup/restore thing pointless.

From that standpoint, for me at least, it's not a perfect backup - not like Acronis, anyway, where it does it bit-by-bit.
