Putting the database back on the device can result in a corrupt database. As you don't have control of everything involved what is happening, something could happen to corrupt the database after it is replaced. I have not decided on the best way to do it. I power off, but, whether it is better to do it as soon as the device is disconnected or after the home screen is displayed, I'm not sure.
