No, that does not backup your GPE data. You will need to either use a tool like opensync or use a simple file backup like rsync to make sure your data is safer. > And more general, how do you know that for an arbitrary applicaton? You can pretty much assume that if the app is third party that it is the third party's responsibility to hook it into the ITOS backup utility. Which generally means that most of these apps are not covered by the backup tool. E -- Erik Hovland mail: erik at hovland.org web: http://hovland.org/ PGP/GPG public key available on request
