I've read that a factory reset after an upgrade is a must. Is there a recommended way to backup and restore settings, or just screenshot things and plug back in manually?

Presumably the JFFS backup/restore mechanism is safe to use?

You can use John's NVRAM Save/Restore utility to save the USER settings and not the SYSTEM settings, which need to be reset by a factory default with the updated firmware. :rolleyes:

Simple copy the /jffs content to a USB device and back to /jffs and you are done - but John's tool does this as well for you. ;)

i wouldn't say its a must , its actually not even required but its good practice if you testing and or wanting to check out if a bug is cleared or what not
