 These options will change the configuration information of the phone in partition 7. Using one of these flaga will create a backup file of your existing partition 7 named /sdcard/part7backup-<time>.bin. '''Please make a backup of these files in a secure place on your computer - especially the first file created is the only chance you have to restore the phone to it's original state'''.

+incsfree uses a kernel module called gfmod that is embedded in incsfree. The output of the kernel module will be written to the kernel messages. You can retrieve the output by either using the command (without the # - that only indicates a root command prompt)
+{{{
+# demsg
+}}}
+or by running the following command in parallel (in a second adb shell to the phone) while running incsfree:
+{{{
+# cat /proc/kmsg
+}}}
 === -- restore ===
 -r (or --restore) option allows you to restore the backupfile of your partition 7. It expects a backup file created be gfree in a previous run.
