Heads up regarding BackupBuddy (BBVFS Pro 4.3.0) on Treo 680 (unlocked PALM brand, Treo680-1.12-ROW firmware)
I was using this program without any problems for a long time on Treo 600 and Treo 650 but on Treo 680 it always fails when restoring Saved Preferences. In fact it fails consistently (forced soft reset) if I do the following:
1. Hard reset
2. Full backup to SD
3. Full restore from SD
4. Consistent crash when it gets to restoring Saved Preferences (does not matter if BBVFS is run from ROM or from SD)
I contacted the developer (Blue Nomad) and below is the answer that I got. The explanation clearly is designed to cover up a major software flaw since I am able to restore the same Saved Preferences file using FileZ and I did explain that to them.
Sorry - not a reliable vendor in my opinion and I'm moving on to other backup software.

Case 202024) Fails to restore preferences
It looks like there isn't much we can do about this issue. If the file is locked during restore we can't replace it and that appears to be what is happening.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
