Default Quick question about ROM update

Hi,

If i were to update my ROM using SEUS, would i need to backup my data? Or will it not touch any of my program, contacts and files..

everything which is installed on the phone itself.
stuff on the SD card will stay. Programs installed on the SD probably wont run anymore

One of the choices is using Dashwire, but it is uploaded online. Is there any offline backup in my pc?

Default SPB Backup

Maybe $25 are much, but SPB Backup (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/) saved my... back *g* very often, due to the possibility to configure nightly backups.

$25 is much from one single program, 15-19$ would be bearable.
I downloaded a trial version of SPB Backup and it seems to be pretty good software. And I will probably buy it.

Question:
If I use the "Full backup" -option, does it backup the installed programs as well? I guess not, so I have to re-install them?
And when I restore the backup, does it affect on the rom update? I mean how thorough the program backups stuff..?

Sorry for my silly questions.

The answer is: Yes, it will backup the installed programs, no need to re-install.
