I'm trying to understand why Helium and contact between the Windows machine and the Nexus 7 are necessary. Why not simply have a backup and restore on the Windows machine that gifts when necessary? No doubt there's some complication I am unaware of. Thanks for any illumination! For the purposes of keeping Neo supplied then only TheGenie backup is required, although if Neo gifts a collection to TheGenie for archive he then needs to put the collection in his WL to get it back, whereas a restore from a Neo backup means the WL can be left alone for the time being. But, besides security of the game data, the main reason why Neo backups are required are for multigifting of CIs beyond the 10 a day limit. I suppose a combination of TT on the Nexus and resupply from TheGenie would work as well but wouldn't be as efficient as giving the same CI over and over from a Neo backup. Before I gained root access on my Nexus, I decided  to invite some of Neo's friends (yourself included) to become TheGenie's friends because the Helium backup/restore took more time than that on Windows. But now I'm backing up locally on The Nexus it's just as easy to gift from Neo as it is from TheGenie.
