Just did it for the first time and it worked fine, but you might run in some
trouble...
First, Laurent's advice was a very good one, you might start blaming the
wireless connection while there's something fishy with your Newt in te first
place.
Second, I tried to update a previous backup (something that I normally never
do and isn't a good idea in the first place) and my Newt will hang somewhere
in the process, (different places for different tries) seems to run out of
memory.
After this I had to do a soft reset because my Newt had a hard time freeing
up memory again.
Fresh backup worked fine.
One more thing that I could think of, since the wireless connection stalls
because it runs out of memory when you install very large packages (like
WordNewt) you might have a problem if you have that installed on your Newt,
haven't tried that yet though...
