You are looking at clones while i sync with outlook and google calendar sync
the calendar between devices.

I would expect cloning with NVBackup would be the way to go but i haven't
tried it the same way as you.
Do you even need to reset when you use NVBackup i would expect that
it would overwrite everything?

Keep us informed how you get on.
