Well, I haven't tried that. Any reason why I would want to do a hard reset from Classic?
I have run a simple test here and there to ensure that what was backed up in RFBackup can be restored by copying that backed up .PDB file back into the ClassicApps/Install directory. It works and it's simple. No reason why it shouldn't work (again, just dragging and dropping).
If the concern is having a robust backup, I mean, the world ain't perfect. Even the Pre itself offers "only" a daily backup. You lose your device or it crashes, just like your computer or if you're hard drive crashes, you're only going to have a backup until the last time you did a backup.
One thing I'd like to find out is, the Pre's daily OTA backup will definitely backup Classic the app (and any other third-party app) as a whole, as listed in the Pre's Launcher's List of Apps. But does that include the data that resides inside Classic? I put in a query to MotionApps about this. We'll see. I don't think I'd ever NOT use RFBackup, just in case, even if the Pre's daily OTA backup purports to include data that resides within an app.
