What are u using to back up ur jailbreak packages before an ios upgrade? I have an att iphone 4 by jailbreakme.com

Thanks
 
Consensus seems to be PkgBackup over aptbackup (or whatever it's called). PkgBackup now backs up iPhone apps data too...very cool!

Pkgbackup !!
 
I just used phgbackup yesterday. This is my first time jailbreaking and it was still super simple to use.
 
Really? So there's no need for backing up with iTunes now...

You still do backups with iTunes, but with this feature of PkgBackup you could restore as new and then selectively add your data files back. Angry Birds achievements is the one most often talked about, but you could restore data from any app. I backup the data for about 18 of my apps and now I always restore as new iPhone when i re-jailbreak.
