Unless someone ends up giving me one, or I get enough donations to buy something outright(I've gotten about $130 total from about 15-20 people so far)... I'm not going to be able to do it.

This is exactly what I feared - the new security features. This might mean that there are parts of the filesystem that cannot be read or rewritten & this thing sucks.
Not that it won't be hacked, most likely soon, judging from what happened to iOS and Android devices. It's only unpleasant corporate taboos at work.

I'm just curious, RobbieThe1st, those quotes you're reporting are from the developers devices program review of your application? That makes me real angry. They're refusing to lend a dev device to the single guy who fixed their awful toy backup system, and saved a huge number of N900s from being thrown out of the nearest window. Or, maybe, it's just for this reason, that BackupMenu defeats planned obsolescence, and this is not good for marketing!
