Ok, thanks.

I guess also it would be good to have something for this for the next 
major version (whenever that may be), else I would not feel so inclined 
to upgrade to a newer system. I'm sure there are apps for things like 
this, but it may also perhaps be done using adb and knowing what to back up.
