I believe once SD cards are supported it wont be a problem, at least for rooted users. Titanium backup does just that.

While "Full" backup and restore does not yet seem to be available, I rooted my Xoom last night and was able to sync to my PC prior to the format and restore 99% of my Xoom afterward. The method I used, I posted previously in another thread:

I found a terrific app that allows me to sync the Xoom with my PC. Websharing File/Media Sync ($2.99 in the Market) is incredible. It allows you to establish your Xoom (or any other Android Device) as a file/media server on your wireless network. You can then use WebDAV on your XP, Vista, Mac, Ubuntu, etc. to connect your Xoom to your PC's file system. You can access your Xoom from your PC's browser. The browser interface is really cool with different interfaces for files, photos, music playback and video playback. You can also access the Xoom through File Explorer as a web share by Mapping a Network Drive.

I use Goodsync ($29.95) on my PC (supports WebDAV) to provide sync functionality. I set up two sync jobs. One syncs my documents folders and the other syncs the Xooms specific folders to create a full data backup on my PC. Both Websharing and Goodsync are "industrial strength" so you don't have to worry about FC's or corrupted data. The solution is perfect for my needs. I now have every work and personal document fully synchronized between my OG Droid, Xoom and XP Laptop. I also have the assurance that my Xoom's data is backed up in case I need to restore.

After my successful rooting wipe, format, my apps were almost instantly restored from my Google Account. After which I used Websharing and Goodsync to restore/resync all of my app data, documents and media. The only thing I had to do manually was rebuild my home screens and re-enter some of the settings on a few apps. It was really easy and trouble free. I am comfortable with this method for backup and restore until Titanium supports the Xoom and the SD Card is active.

seems like a lot of cost to do that when google pretty much installs all the applications all over again and all my docs that I use are in the cloud like evernote. The only thing I had to do was drag and drop my pictures and videos which was only 2 directories.

Anyone find a cheaper alternative to the above post yet? Gonna be trading for a wifi version soon and don't want to start from scratch.

Not until an SD card update is released
