iPod touch Modding without jail breaking?

Oh yes I've used it. And the process of restoring from the backup took about 30 minutes. Not everyone has the same setup as your iPod or as little data on it as you might.

It's a 64gb iTouch, with about 4 gb remaining. It doesn't restore all the data; it essentially tells my iPod that it has a file that needs replacing/updating and replaces it.

It took me about 30 seconds to push the plist so percentages would be disabled, and another 30 (after I rebooted and made sure it did, in fact, get pushed to my device) to switch it back.

It's not like it's a system file that would require a complete install to modify; it's a single, (technically) user-accessible file. It only takes a full restore if you modify your backup and save it, then restore through iTunes. iBackupBot doesn't need to do that; it just pushes the file.

Restoring a single file is unfortunately not how the iOS backup restore process works. It overwrites every file that is given to it from iTunes' backup. Not just one file. The process of overwriting a large amount of files or a large thing like iMessages use a lot of time.

That's funny, since that's not what happened when I tried this literally last night on my iPod with ~8gb of iMessages.

That would be an incomplete restore and will likely lead to a corrupted device.
