Oh yes I've been down that road - not recommended if you can't remember your email settings when away from home. What I have done since is to copy the entire email settings from the various tabs, pdf'ed it and have it stored in my docs just in case. Occasionally I'll need to re-enter certain settings again for googlemail as now and again the built in email client stops picking up mail, ok on other accounts thought.

Dohh...just found out the 'other files' were - my Maemo Maps folder which I deleted, and that I guess would be the largest proportion of my backup.

Thanks Imo, at least I'll have more space for other stuff now, and I'll keep a larger archive backup of backups now. Probally leave the 'other files' box unchecked from now on.

EDIT Yo dude what type of files did it save under 'other files' when you did the backup? Gotta turn in for the night now but I'll pick this up tommorow if any replys.
