I believe I may be starting to grasp this. So from what you are saying, if you haven't used DM App Loader to load an OS then what berrycoder claims that the App Loader will restore what was removed (themes, cods etc.) is impossible. For instance in my own case with a new Pearl since a have yet to load a new OS everything deleted by MaxMem cannot be restored by App Loader as the OS is not there due to it's not being loaded by the App Loader.

Thanks it is all clear to me now. Seems to have nothing much to do with a data backup at all. And the data backup is only to restore settings and data like address book and bookmarks and such in the event you lose those and the backup has nothing to do at all with restoring the items removed by MaxMem as only the App Loader can do that and only then when the App Loader was used to load your OS. If I am incorrect on any of this someone please let Me know.

Question: can I just copy my OS as it is from my phone in it's modified current form to a file and have that to use with App Loader? This would be much easier than starting from scratch. In other words can I sort of back up my current OS which is on the phone now?
