What do you guys do after upgrading?

[esqueue]

I just upgraded from No2chem's 5038 rom to 5049. Before flashing I used spb backup so that I can restore all my install programs and pim data.

Everything was restored properly but I do have one issue. The problem I noticed is that before restoring by data there were several new folders that were available to browse. I can't remember the names but I remember seeing an internet folder and some kind of embeded rom folder which had some programs. After restoring my backup, they all disappeared.

I would hate to have to reinstall all the programs over after each update. Is there a way to just restore my installed programs only without getting rid of my new items?

I already know of pimbackup, I'll try messing my my spb backup settings to see if a customizable backup and restore can help me.
