Proper back-up procedure for jailbroken iPhones (before re-jailbreaking)

Just something to keep in mind (and save time, at least in my case)
  1. Instal aptbackup on your phone
  2. Backup all of your cydia apps
  3. Synced with iTunes 8 to backup the data (notes/sms/contacts/etc) to iTunes
  4. Used restore mode in ITunes 8 to (alt click) restore to the official 2.1 FW
  5. Used the new QuickPwn to jailbreak (and unlock for the 1st gen iPhones)
  6. Restored my backup from iTunes.
  7. Installed aptbackup on your newly jailbroken iPhone and restored all cydia apps.
  8. Synced with iTunes again to restore the music and movies.
