If you have any apps you want to save your progress in, I would back them up using something like MyBackup (trial). Free for 30 days. I have reset my tablet dozens of times in the past 2 years, it is pretty easy to set back up when restoring from Google.
Also, be sure to back up any important files on your internal (/sdcard/) memory. I usually just copy the whole thing over to USB or microSD and then restore the files I need after the fact. Give it a week or two, if I haven't missed the files, I wipe them away from the backup.

Just a suggestion, but is there possibly an app from the PlayStore that could be used to organize, navigate, and author/re-author the images and videos?(with thumbnails to boot?)
They have a lot of apps. There must be something that would at least help. If I come across anything, I'll post it here. Glad to hear nothing was lost though. I forget the specifically too, but I know ADB has commands for backing up(complete/partial/user data, including where you were playing a game/s, etc.)
Doing a "Reset" can be a scary thing, I think we can all relate to the first time. Great to hear it went okay.(smilz)

Hi simatim, congratulations on your new Samsung tablet and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you as a member of Android Tablets. I'm moving your thread to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum for you, where more people are likely to join the discussion and try to help you. Good luck!
