Help! Chronus fails to backup native iPhone/iTouch apps under 2.2.1 Firmware?

I have discovered a bug possible with Chronus 2.18 (the latest release) under firmware 2.2.1.

While backing up & restoring regular apps still works, Chronus can no longer back up and restores native iPhone/iTouch apps, such as bookmarks/history in Safari, weather settings, stock settings, contacts, etc...

It will create a backup (without indicating any problem), but the restore fails to revert the settings to the previous backed up ones.

I emailed the author in databinge (I have purchased a copy prior). There is no answer. The website has no update whatosever on Chronus. They even took the forum down...

Can someone please help?
