Not sure if anyone has done this, but I have been quite successful at it and makes things very easy.

I use a program called Sync Toy, which is a Microsoft Powertoy.

When I plug my pre into the computer (USB option), I copied all the folders into a another folder on my computer. I then tell this program to synchronize between both folders. This way, I have a backup of my Pre's folders.

What this also allows me to do, is drop wallpapers, music, movies, and other documents into the folders on my computer and at my next sync, gets this stuff on my Palm Pre. Works beautifully. In fact, my Pre had to get replaced (because of the close slider, shutdown issue), and before I returned it, I did this backup. I am glad I did. Even though the Pre's backup worked just about flawlessly when activating my new Pre, it did not do pictures and such. I did the sync when I got home and I was back in business.

Just a thought for you all!

By the way, this site rocks!
