Hey all. (Hopefully) Simple question. Can I use the documented NAND Flash Backup & NAND Flash Restore to safely backup and restore the currently installed image + root + home + data? My idea is to use this so I can simply swap between OZ/opie, OZ/gpe, OZ/e17, pdaxrom & cacko without having to go through the whole reflash, reinstall personal apps, update & upgrade process to get back to square one.

I know that some types of CF cards do not work. I had tried a kingston 256mb card to restore a nand and it failed (couldn't read the card). I switched to a different card (sandisk) and everything worked.
