Mad Not-so-soft reset

I just tried to restore my PIM databases with Dell's "utility", and the following Soft Reset turned out as an hard reset. I lost all my installed programs (luckily, I store all my files in the Integrated Storage). Anyone has ever seen this behavior ? Is it linked to Dell's "utility", to the Axim, to a faulty unit, or generally to bad luck ?

Do you mean that the restore failed? Or the restore caused a hard reset?

If you mean that the restore failed, from everything I have read, that is pretty common, which is why I use Pocket Backup Plus.

Technically, I suppose I can say the restore "succeeded", as in "the message appeared correctly". But the restore asks for a Soft Reset, which was in fact a hard reset. Meaning I lost all my data, that is PIM data (which I got back through synch) and all my apps (I had to reinstall).

I just bought PocketBackup.

Ugh! The one time I had a hard reset, it took me around five hours to reinstall everything. Which is why I am such a crusader for Pocket Backup.
