My current backup (with Sprite) is about 56 megs and takes about 15 minutes from the start of the first reset until the end of the final reset. I do this in the wee hours of the morning so the time does not matter to me. When I first upgraded to 6.1 all I "saw" was the icon for the quick backup. I thought "Holy cow, I got some version without scheduled backups?" Somehow I stumbled upon the other icons.

But I think that a few minutes is also the time takes for me. (I normally don't do backups during the day, I've got a scheduled backup at 5AM) Often when my device really crashes and a hard reset is inevitable I decide to rebuild my device, but still then I can take the PIM data and some files from My Documents from the backup and restore those. I'm glad to have Sprite Backup on my device. :) Peter, is this what you’re looking for in regards to a .cab file?
