Hi Robbie,
it works great on my end...
Great work and appreciated here in the Netherlands...
2 questions left:
can we expect a GUI 4 this?
Does this backup all (like apps and other stuff like contacts and calendar)?
Regards

3. As Dana was talking about, I thought for most of this topic that the Kernel was installed in the RootFS. Now, I'm not so sure, because when you flash PR1.2, then your RootFS image, you are back to the default kernel. This is because either A, the kernel is stored somewhere else, or B, the boot link to the kernel is stored elsewhere(whatever tells it which kernel to use). If you know which it is, let me know.

I think it's a bit hard to have a better guy ... this is only a script that is loaded in the ram at the startup ... to do what you say we should install even some other files on an external support, just like a sd card, like being an operting system...
And yes, this backups EVERYTHING you can think

After restoring RootFS checksums seem not to match. Would you have any tips for that RobbieThe1st?

Robbie .. since yesterday I'm trying to fix that stupid error.
1) Tried with a mst MD5 checksums ... My tester hasn't a corrupted file.
2) Check the hardware revision. We have the same : 2101
3) I told the testers try to flash with the root image extracted from a fiascoimage.
That flash went fine.
So to two testers everything all right... and two with that error. ... and I do not understand why ..

I use it to clone hard drives as part of my backup strategy for my laptop. It's wonderfully effective. I've no idea if anyone's even thought about compiling it for Maemo, let alone done so (I wouldn't be able to - I take one look at the Scratchbox installation docs and go into twitching fits), but it ought to help.
Also, its not just "some". If the current image is too different from the one needing to be flashed, it won't work. Why? I don't know. Perhaps some files aren't getting copied correctly, or some portion of the disk image.
