@Wichall: Can you try to repeat this? Make more alarms, do another backup/restore..?
I want to see if its a one-time (or dst) glitch, or an actual problem.

I will at some point Robbie, it was a restore to a different phone so my guess is the active alarms are stored somewhere outside of the opt and rootfs which is why they can turn the N900 on...

I had that too. Very odd, after a restore all my alarms were disabled, was late as well. I simply assumed I have defined the alarms, backed up, enabled and then restored. Makes little sense, all newly created alarms are enabled by default.

I only restored rootfs, though. Might have been a desync?

Presumably the alarms need registering somehow, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fire when the phone is switched off. No idea how to retrigger this registration though

I know the wake function's handled by the onboard RTC(real time clock). I don't know anything about this chip, however. I'd assume that this should be set during boot... but it looks like it's not. I'll have to ask stskeeps.
In the meantime though, a fix is what... Just remember to enable all alarms after restore?

Hi Robbie,

Do you know if installing uboot (for dual-booting MeeGo) would break BackupMenu?

No clue - try it and let me know.

(perhaps stupid) observation about alarms 1h late... here we just moved 3 days ago from daylight saving time to standard time, could that be the deal?

That may very well be - That's why I'm trying to have someone repeat the steps and see if it continues or was a one-time thing.
