Backupmenu is best choice.
Not exactly what you were looking for, but ...

You may insert a 32GB SD card and just store your Backupmenu backups of /rootfs and /optfs on SD.
And then do a simple 'dd /if=/home/user/MyDocs /of=/media/mmc/eMMC.img' with some more parameters.
Not like USB but as convenient as

p.s.: with N9 and ubiboot your preferred way via USB is possible. On N900 there is rescueImage but I really do not know if all partitions are exported to USB, so it would be possible to dd them (never heard/read/did, but ...).
