Funny you should say that. AS actually came pretty close, once upon a time. That was pre-WM5. There was a backup restore capability within AS that did your whole device. It did not do Flash cards, but that isn't an issue for iPhones since they have no such slot. It was a bit hit or miss on restoring to an upgraded device, becaus MS insisted on changing a bunch of registry stuff between revs, but it often worked fine. You could lose a device and replace it with the same model and it would restore just like it was the old guy. Couldn't restore to a diufferent model, but again iPhone doesn't have this issue. Why did it go away? Well, with flash ROM you obviously would never lose data, so such a thing wasn't needed anymore. One of the many AS/WMDC features replaced by fancy.
