DM wipes the device before it installs the new OS. Then it reinstalls your apps and databases after it reboots with clean, new OS. To me the database and OTA app restoration is a big plus for using DM to upgrade.

DM doesnt do as good as a job as BBSAK. i dont think DM does a full wipe of the OS, think it upgrades if from the current version. dont like upgrading. like to start from scratch. to me it runs better.
