I've never heard that you had to run it, but I would expect you would,
because the reason to run it in the first place is to kinda slow down the
computer so that it can keep up with the connection. I would imagine that
since restoring requires a connection, you might have the same problem no
matter if you're making a backup or restoring from a backup.
You could try without SlowDown and post your results here. Worst case,
you'll have to do a hard reset of your Newton, because the restore would
fail and that might leave the Newton in limbo...
