done, reboot

Next time you need to bring your device at that very specific point in time:
- switch it off
- switch it on
- select backupmenu
- and chose restore backup optioin

that's it.

I am currently on my 5th -scavenged and frankesteinezed- N900, never lost any single bit of my data tanks to very recent backups when the worst happened on me (two faulty digitizers, one usb port broken and one 'missing telephony' modem fault)
Well that is actually a very good tip! Thanks a lot mate! Does it save messages (sms) and programs data too (mostly Opera, since they ended opera link back in the days all the data and bookmarks I backed up are on the N900) ? I have not flashed my n900 since 2014, I was too afraid to lose those files and messages but if there is a way to, like you said, "bring the device at the very specific point in time" I would take it
Thanks again! Very good tip!
