new to n900..
Mido - a quick question.. I have repartitioned my emmc to have a 21 GB /home. However I have only about 3 GB used out of it.
So when I use Backupmenu, would the backup tar file be 21 GB size irrespective of the size in use? or would it be just 3GB in size. I am this since I would not have space to back up on the phone or the SD card if the backup tar file would be the size of /home folder
Also I have swap running on my SD, so any special consideration for installation of the Backupmenu-multiboot ?

Bro i have been running both ur custom NITDroid images on my phone for sometime now but i have a problem with Gingerbread not showing MyDocs as sdcard memory.
Your custom froyo is installed on mmcblk0p5 while custom Gingerbread is installed on mmcblk0p6.
I have same partition table like urs mmcblk0p4 is extended partition with mmcblk0p5 & mmcblk0p6 as logical partitions.
Can you help me edit vold.fstab sd as i have a spare external card with me.

Note: Could be possible abort image creation when "taring" fails? I think It could reduce many fails restoring images...
