A new problem. If I set my default shell to bash then I can't ssh in. Is it possible to change passwd when it gets copied so that it uses /bin/sh?

Files wise: So no, nothing's mounted. That's good, it's what's supposed to happen.
Shell wise:
Hm... Not sure, I'll have to see.
It may end up coming along with a default password, as that'd be easier than trying to edit the passwd file during the copy process.
Then again, I might be able to just pass it through one of the unix tools with a search/replace...
@x-lette:
That's an idea, I could easily do that.
Actually, anyone can: Just edit /usr/share/backupmenu/BackupMenuLauncher.item, find where I did "cd /tmp/disk/bin/"(like 26 or so)
and add a line right after it: "ln -s sh bash"
That should do the trick.

yo Robbie!
thanks for this so much! i ran a test backup and restore and everything was ok!
i got almost 1.5GB of backup size.
one question, if i try to re-backup again, is my old back up be replaced or is there an option on bootmenu to replace or make a new one?
Thanks

Just noticed something a bit odd. I made a backup of my rootfs, my first since upgrading to PR1.3. I ubinized it etc on-device as before to generate a flashable image file. Now, I'm running a custom kernel (based on the latest BFS source, but with an extra diff patch to enable cache_file on nandsim module) and have used this, along with ubiattach, to mount the image file generated by ubinize to /mnt/rootfs. So far, so fairly mundane. However, df -h shows:
Now, admittedly it's a slightly bigger partition (mainly because it's 10000000h in size, rather than the normal 0fb40000h of the real rootfs) but why is the free space so much bigger, and would I gain this extra space should I flash the image? (I'll probably try later just to see, but I found this all really curious..)
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 227.9M 178.8M 44.9M 80% / ubi0:rootfs 227.9M 178.8M 44.9M 80% / ... ubi1_0 232.3M 161.1M 67.0M 71% /mnt/rootfs

@RobbieThe1st: one more suggestion. Could you change the shortcut for either advanced menu or within there for the entry to erase all files from opt? As both shortcuts are 'e' it might be possible one is accidentally hitting 'e' twice and therefore erasing his opt-partition.
Maybe you can use an uppercase letter for advanced menu. So no one would accidentally even enter it.

Might be easier to create a symlink /bin/bash pointing to /bin/sh or busybox or similar.

A potential problem with symlinking /bin/bash to /bin/sh (busybox) is that it's not future-proof Someday we might have a csh, or zsh. I think just making passwd use /bin/sh is the safest. Some awking or seding should fix it.
