So is it a general beleif that SPB Backup is the best backup solution? Better than Sprite?

Maybe I missed that specific option when I tried it. I'd be pretty hesitant to give it another shot, but maybe it'll be worth it.

How do I get into SPB's ROM Upgrade mode? I just see options for full backup and custom backup. Is there something else I should be doing to make sure I'm in ROM Upgrade mode?

It usually comes up in that mode by default after you swap roms

So the backup is just a full backup, but when you try to do a restore, that's where ROM restore mode is activated?

I vaguely remember some sort of error at that point saying it couldn't do a ROM upgrade because it thought my device was different. I don't recall exactly what happened there though.

Has anyone used RescoBackup? I used it on my Palm Treo 650 so when I switched to the Touch Pro I just naturally got the WM version, not knowing what the "standard" WM backup programs are.

I usually just reinstall all my apps and what not when I flash. I don't have a whole lot added so it's not been a problem in the past. I use PIM Backup 2.8 to backup my contacts, etc, but it doesn't back up Sprint PictureMail as I understand it. How do I back up that stuff or at least move it to the storage card?
