Hi,
I bet it was done that way to avoid tech support costs and to
prevent users from messing up their data (same goes with Clean
Reset under Support Information Mode). For this reason, coupled
with unreliability of some flash chips, I store books and others
on my SD card, with Flash reserved for system files and
schoolwork docs.
For Sabbahattin: If you recommend it so, I'll rewrite "Exploring
Resets" article on my site to include info on your advise.
Cheers,
Joseph

I do confirm that a factory reset (which is sometimes the result
after a large upgrade and then a long period of no reset) is
safe, and yes, you will need your software packages but not your
licenses. In fact, I'd advise a factory reset over a standard
"Clear settings" reset, since it's more complete and useful.
Unfortunately, HW are now storing even more than they have before
into the system store, probably in the registry, so you'll have
to go hunting for every possible setting and putting it back, as
only a few important ones are now stored in keysoft.ksd on the
Flash Disk. I'm no longer backing up anything except the
pronunciation dictionary, because it's just a waste of time.
Instead, I just copy the package from a folder called "Reinstall"
on my SD card into the root, hit reset, and then go about setting
things up again. Keep everything on an SD card, and don't use
KeyPlan or KeyMail, and even a full erase is "Safe". I don't
know why HW don't just document it.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
