Actually you can do it on a Mac using Connector. I've done it. I don't recommend it because you're basically restoring more than data from a phone you exchanged for some reason (i.e. something was wrong with it). It's not trivial to do and if you're not comfortable with MacOS filesystems it gets a little twisted. But it can be done. And I imagine that some similar manipulations could possibly be used with Zune on a PC. I just haven't had time to determine if it's feasible. Oh and gapost your comment is true when you do a software update. It's possible to do a backup anytime you want. And when you do, it creates a backup of your phone as it exists at the time of the current backup. So technically you could do a backup of your phone, do a reset, then restore your phone. I've done it a bunch of times and when the restore is done, the phone will be just like it was at the time of backup except that your media will have to be resync'd (i.e. podcasts, videos, music and the like). Contacts, apps, settings will be restored.

Could you go thru the steps then as this could be quite useful to a few people. Did you do this to a new device? Same device? Same type of device?
