Does it finish though? Remember, the numbers given are approximate - good for a rough estimate of time remaining, but not much else.
if it jumps to the next screen, it copied it all.

And the problem is that, when I reboot in Backup mode by keeping the keyboard slided out, I can't restore the img which were created because I can't see them in the menu. They exist though and they are not empty (one of 4 Go and the other of about 260 Mo). The only file listed in the restore menu is an img file which is actually a rom for PSX4ALL. :/

Any idea on how to restore my system? I have a job travel on saturday and it would be great if I could have a full working phone before leaving, because I'm not that serene when having to travel without any communication mean! :]
Ok, lets see.
One, what version are you running?
Two, can you check if the files actually do/still exist by:
1. Reboot with the keyboard open to get into my script
2. at the main screen, plug the N900 into your computer via USB
3. hit the key for USB mass storage mode, then on your PC, wait for it to mount and check to make sure the files *do* exist.
4. Write down the names of the files, if they exist, and paste them here.
Also, you may want to see about running chkdsk when you connect to it via USB - It can't hurt.

Let me know how these turn out; I'll do my best to try to fix it for you.
So long as the files exist, and you are running a recent version(with the terminal mode), we can do a "manual restore" from there if the normal restore won't work.
