Backing up V635 with Flash & Backup

FlashBackup 2.62
This program will back up your phone's memory. There are 3 choices of backup.
1) B/L backup 2) PDS backup 3) FULL backup
In any case the following settings should be used for the V635.
First select Backup type Then select phone memory size as 32MB Then check box to disable compression Then at Select Loader, from the drop down box hit Select Another, Browse to the location of the FlashBackup program file and open RamDld Pack And select 32MB (08A0).ldr Then just hit Create.
A B/L or PDS backup should take about 15 seconds A FULL backup should take about 4 – 5 minutes.
Please remember that in order to restore any backup made by FlashBackup you MUST have B/L 07.D0 installed.
Be advised that even though FlashBackup may have made good backups of your phone you may possibly have a problem restoring to the phone. Some users have had problems with the USB port configuration and/or USB and P2k driver issues. If you are trying to restore the PDS backup and it takes more than 15 seconds to complete then you may indeed have this USB problem.
Here is more information on the FlashBackup USB problem. http://www.motox.info/showthread.php?t=8525
(This USB problem can also appear when using Scotty2 v2 downloader program when the process seems to leave a dead phone but the remedy here is to just re-flash the firmware to the phone.)
It is advisable to run each backup a couple of times and store each set seperately. You can change the backup save location in the FlashBackup Setup Menu.
