Actually, when I backed up recently, BackupMenu gave me a corrupted tarball for the first time - with /home apparently missing (but /opt present). Of course, /home was there - the file size alone was testament to that - and I've been able to repair it (though to what extent I'm not sure yet, as my N900 still isn't back from Nokia Care), but be aware that such things can happen.

used it now for a month or so, the warnings when installing made me wary but so does reflashing from pc. backupmenu saves a lot of time and stress in my opinion.

installed and did a backup, said it went fine. did it to mydocs rather than memory card which is what i thought it did, so moving across currently. For some reason after the backup my memory card was renamed in file manager to 'undefined-emmc-' or somesuch.
Also is anyone able to answer my question in the post above?

How safe is this thing now? I got a big warning upon installation and so I cancelled it.

i also got a warning or two from loading backupmenu, to creating backups. but i go on......
but for my case restoration of backups goes alright (i saw a phrase saying restore was successful in light green font color). I can use the device....everything was there except for the updated apps and cssu.
i just did this when i installed the latest CSSU (14.1). for some reason, hildon-desktop goes nuts and reboots my n900 after killing it on xterm and repeats after every reboot.
