Rom Update - Getting Programs Back

[TheIgster]

Forgive me if this is really a noob question or this has been answered before, but I'm in the process of updating to the newly released official Bell ROM update on my Touch. I use Sprite Backup and I have a COMPLETE backup of everything.

Now, if I update the ROM, it of course erases and resets everything. Can I then just run Sprite Backup and restore the entire backup or will that screw around with files updated with the ROM update? Or am I missing something here?

I just want the new ROM with all my programs, contacts, etc. to be back in place without having to reinstall everything. Is this the way to go about that?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
