I thought I had hidden files checked, but I guess that was not the case. Like I said, total dummy. Thanks for the help.

Not sure if this will matter, but I did this on 2 PC's
one with DM 4.2 one with DM 4.5.
The 4.2 machine picked up everything, the 4.5 one
skipped 3 apps, any clues?

TellMe, Instango and WeatherEye.
Just did both again to confirm, and same thing happened.

Not a big deal, I know where to get those apps from
so it's all good. Just a weird quirk (or my BB bad karma - and you
know what I'm talkin' 'bout  )
The how too is still good. Pat yourself on the back.

This is a very good method. I have seen this on BBF and I always keep a up to date back up before I do a OS install incase the install goes bad.

I walked my wife through upgrading the other day when I was at work. There was a storm outside(I didn't know about) and the power went out. Of course, she lost everything. So, I walked her through this when I got home, and now it's a ritual.

nevertheless don't modify your how to unless others have this issue
too. It is good as it stands.

I think the issue AG is having only occurs with specific apps. Some people still swear by using DM 4.2, because it apparently does a better job at the overall process. I am not sure if this holds true, I guess testing will only tell.
Crucial, your guide and process is perfect and not flawed... but DM does not back up some apps for some reason. You may wanna note that as a caution in the tutorial, for those who are unaware.

Thanks BM. I added a little note at the bottom. I just can't for the life of me figure out why some will backup and others won't. I haven't had the problem, but if AG says it didn't backup all, it didn't. Well, maybe we can get an official 4.6 soon.(although the beta is out there |

I think the only way to really find apps that do not work is experimenting, unfortunately!
Most apps work, from my experience... but apparently some do not!

Yep, just helped a guy who was upgrading and one of the 3rd party apps didn't load, and bricked the device. This is def the best way.
