How big are everyone's backups?

Mine is up to 160mb big now. It takes about 15mins to restore the device after a reflash. I am wondering if this is typical or its because my backup is now bigger than the device can handle efficiently.

Sounds like mine is almost too big. Does anyone else have a backup bigger than 100mb & how does it affect the restore performance?

Do you have massive email folders or something? I'm now worried mine is too small.

A bad case of backup size envy...

46 here, about 150 contacts, 400+ calendar entries, 10MB Xchat logs, and a lot of conversations and emails.
Check your backup folder and see which zip file is taking most space.

My latest backup is taking the most space. I backup every 2 weeks or so. There are about 10backup files on my SD card backup location.

It is now taking more than 20mins to restore the 167mb backup I have.

I do not have that many emails. I only retrieve the last 3 days worth so about 50 total emails from 3 sources on the device

Check the latest backup folder, it has zip files in it, see which one takes most space (somehow I believe it's the 'settings' one)
