Sorry, but if that's the case, you did something wrong, or you used it when it 
was pre 1.0.

I've used backupmenu a few times to backup from one device and restore to 
another after a fresh flash, and it's done a complete clone.  The only caveat 
is that you have to flash the kernel version of the backup file before 
restoring it on the target device, as it doesn't backup/restore the kernel area.

The menu offers two backup options, one for rootfs and one for the opt area.  
You have to back up and restore both to make a full system backup.  Now, if 
you've moved things off from /opt to MyDocs or some such, that won't be backed 
up.  And there's no option to back up MyDocs, since frankly it's huge and can 
be backed up by other means.

Regardless, the topic at hand is about Nokia's backup program and getting 
source for it.  It's being looked into, and I'm sure we'll get an answer soon.  
I'm sure it was more an accident that it wasn't included than some malicious 
intention to keep it from people. :)

yep, installed backup menu, used it shortly & reflashed both my N900s to get
ride of it :@
with all due respect to Robbie, it's not even ½ backed (up) :mad:
- can't use it to transfer a setup from one device to another, thus
- can't make a *real* restore after a re-flash, neither :mad::mad:
