I can hard-reset my Axim, plug in my SD card, run restore, and my Axim is in exactly the same state as it was before the reset. I've never had to reinstall anything, and the restore process takes about 90 seconds.
Even in the worst case scenario if I had to hard reset the Axim and the SD Card was corrupted, it would be as simple as copying the files back from my PC to the SD card, and then restoring. 2 minute operation.

Don't know what to tell you....PBU worked about 50 times faster for me than the built-in, it gets every single byte of data I've got, restores in a flash...these were all things that disappointed me the first couple of times I tried the built-in backup.
On another note....I'm glad you chimed in. I saw an article today on Fark.com that made me think of a member here but couldn't figure out who it was. Your Code Red avatar---is that because you like the drink or the story behind the Code Red virus?
I ask because I really hope it's not the drink. Yeah, I know....another one of those "anything you toss down your throat will kill you" type things....but this really is some nasty stuff.

an edit was just made to that page adding that it is all Mt. Dew products...not just Code Red. Ok---now I'm really upset...for a soda, Mt. Dew ranked in my top 3. :(
