and BTW, Sprite is in BIS, I back up daily at 4am, making a self extracting back up kept on SD, and backing up everything in main memory.
Is there anything that I'm missing?

When you backup, it saves everything, including the registry, files in RAM, shortcuts, etc. Files on SD or CF cards, or BIS are only backed up if you've chosen to backup persistent storage, which I do about every 2 weeks or so; BIS is where I install most programs, so not much changes there.
With the settings you've selected, you should be protected, I have a backup scheduled every morning at 6:00am, it creates a self-extracting file on my SD card, and I have it also set to keep 7 backups.
The 1st time you have a problem and need to do a hard reset, you'll really appreciate what Sprite can do for you, just hard reset, point file explorer to the backup and double-click, you'll have your PdA back in just a few minutes.
One thing you'll need to do after a restore is the very next sync with the PC will need to be done on the cradle, and you'll need to replace the items on the PDA with the items from the PC.
Hope this helps,
