Not *every* last scrap of data, unfortunately.  It ignores the ROM.

I have an RFE: Provide a way to back up the contents of flash ROM.  I
use FlashPro to manage flash, but I have to remember to save a copy
of any app/db that I put into flash because the Backup conduit won't
back it up.

You may ask, "Why back up the contents of flash?  Isn't it permanent?"
Not quite.  I still occasionally get into situations where the only way
to
recover is to reformat the flash and start from scratch.

If I could do a separate, on-demand backup of flash, it would make my
life much easier.
