I currently maintain MSP on three tablets and I'm adding a fourth one as I write this.  This is probably overkill for most users, but I was a beta tester and I still like to try new releases somewhere where it doesn't matter if it all goes tits up.

Now - my backup file is 2+ Gb and it takes quite a while to restore it and this started me wondering about restoring to more than one tablet at a time.  I realise there is little to save in terms of time, because it's four times the data to move, but it would be nice to start it running and go and do something more useful while all the tablets did their thing.

I haven't tried this because I think it's doomed to failure at the moment?  When you link a tablet to Companion, the first thing it does is to read whatever is currently on the tablet - I can only conjecture what this would do if it was trying to read more than one tablet at a time, but I don't think it would be very pretty .

However, if Companion first asked if you wanted to read the contents of a tablet and you elected not to do so, maybe a restore could be made concurrently to more than one tablet?

I guess only Mike knows the answer to this, but I would like to know if it's a possibility for a future upgrade?  

Sometime ago, we talked about incremental/differential backups and Mike did say he would look at implementing them at some unspecified time.  Maybe what I am talking about above would be easier to implement?
