Oh yes I did. I ALWAYS back up the image before playing with it as it recovers everything including sat positions and motor settings. Why you asking? Got a problem getting it to work?

Just to clear things up: I have only used the 4.0 version, and I mainly use it to backup and recover. Sometimes I use it to reboot the box from the 'puter (is closer to the couch than having to get up)

Also, I tried a few times using it to install images and it always got stuck, so I don't use this anymore (I use Dreamuplan)

I wa asking because i seen somewhere that you cant use it for the 5620, but i tried it with the latest angharad image and it worked fine and also backed up ok too. Was looking for the post but could`nt find it.

Yes there are one or two posts or more that are worth keeping.
I have had this 1GB usb stick for a month and not used it to back up yet or store xtra bootable images.
I think the guide is on another forum and it looked messy.
I suspect there are clear instrcutions from one of our wizards in one of the threads I am sure.

IHAD lists tested sticks. Also be careful to format in DB from FW or similar. Once formatted from Windows, it's reportedly very hard to recover for use by Linux.
