Yes you can - sort of....

I have one of the original Matchbook drives with no flash memory - the same technical situation you are in.

I do full back-ups and restores using bbVFS-free without a problem once I get the drivers on board the Visor. I also have a DataQuake and Thinmodem+ Springboards which do have flash memory available. I just make sure that I have copies of the drivers on those modules so that in the event of a hard reset I can copy them over to RAM, use the FAfilemover software to copy the bbVFS software over and do the restore.
