I already did that with rootfs and initfs .
Since nobody seems to have compiled 0xFFFF for the tablet I guess I'll have to do it myself once I put on the build environment.
Well I did but it is not that much useful on the tablet.

Backup can be done via nanddump (or even dd), no need for 0xFFFF. As for being more appropriate - check 0xFFFF source, older versions were actually worse with lot of stuff hardcoded and no bad block handling, in recent version the code is basically copied from nanddump so it should be similar. For backup both are good, for restore I wouldn't trust any of them directly on the device for bootloader or CAL area.
