I don't know why, I don't know what I did, but my Ax crashed a few minutes ago....all the way to the point where a soft reset only got me to the blue Dell screen (and no...I wasn't one of the one's messing around with the 2k3 upgrade :) ). After hearing about people raving and recommending Pocket Backup on the site, I downloaded the trial a few days ago. I ran a full backup of my Ax just to see how long it took--for grins and giggles. I was all grins when it wound up taking about 6 minutes. I backed it up to an executable on my SD card, and that was it.

Then tonight happened. It's currently 11:00 p.m. where I am. I can't leave home without my Ax (as it has taken over for that mass of grey stuff between my ears), and a rebuild usually takes me about 3 hours (load and reregister software to where I want it, sync, etc...) I figured it was now or never for the backup file.

I popped it in, went to file explorer, tapped the backup file, and 5 minutes later my Ax was in exactly the same state it was in 3 days ago when I ran that backup. The only thing I'm doing right now is reinstalling 2 new apps I bought tonight and syncing my data to get it current.

That is a beautiful thing.

Now, excuse me while I slow my pulse down and head on over to Handango. :D :D
