I've done that countless times and i haven't encountered this. Even fennec remembers the last page I visited.

yes...the sw updater doesn't overwrite all the music, files etc.
If you want to erease the flash you need to that in a different way.

No sign of /backup/ right of the root of my PC hard drive (there is no N900 folder on my PC).

I've done a search for "backup" of both my C and D drives with nothing to indicate a backup of my N900 data.
Uh...

1. Take an USB cord.
2. Connect your N900 to the computer.
3. Select "Mass Storage Mode" on the pop-up prompt on you N900.
4. Open My Computer on your computer.
5. Explore the correct drive.

Yes. Mine shows up in My Computer as Removable Disk (G:) for the phone and Removable Disk (F:) for the memory card. The G: drive icon even looks like the N900. When I open G:, the Backups directory is right there.

The forgetful-when-battery-is-removed thing is puzzling though.

There is no N900 visible on my Vista PC.

Fairly basic, black and white stuff - taking the battery out. If your experience is different, it tells me that the phones vary, and they have landed me with a really crappy one...

you probably have a faulty device because i've never had that problem

Yeah, must be, yours didnt come with a Backup program or a UPC port, and the battery doesn't work.

Throw a live linux distro on a thumb drive or cd and see if that works for you.

If you hit the backup button on your device it will actually ask you where you want the backup file to go if you got an SD card and for sure it goes onto the device NOT your pc.
How long you had your N900? because many weird and wonderful things can happen if the fw is not right, sounds to me like it only requires a flash and for that all you need to do is follow the flash instructions then all will be ok.
Follow the instructions in this link,

Your symptoms sound like it only needs the fw flashed and start over after that.
