on the bakupmenu, when you press b.) to make a backup, you'll be ask for options on where you want your backups stored.

i chose the "SD card" to save it on my micro SD, to save it under mydocs, should be "eMMC (MyDocs Partition)"

Warnings come from the i2c-tools package(which allow for low-level hardware control). It'd safe so long as /you/ don't mess with those tools(i2cset/i2cget) yourself.

It's an incredibly reliable and simple to use program. I think the warning is mainly for CYA purposes. I've even used it to restore from one N900 to another, so I didn't have to set up the second one from scratch. Yes, to answer one question, even backgrounds are restored. This program is to the N900 like having a net is for a tightrope walker.

Hmm, i was only giving the option of 'internal emmc' or 'mydocs'

If you don't have a /writable, fat-formatted/ SD card, it won't show the option... for good reason. It tries to mount the SD card first, and if it can't it won't show the option.

Hello
Yesterday I installed this app and I tried to run this...
When I rebooted, I got this error message:


When I pressed any key I got the another error message:


When I pressed again at any key, I got the menu window, and when I started backup, I saw the red color message above the process lines:
"This can and WILL produce a broken backup"


But when the process is completed, I got the green message - it's ok...
This process is normal or it's something missing in my device ?
Thanks

1. The missing files is a known error, either install the libs or ignore the error.

2. READ THE FRIGGING SCREEN! It says 'press the slide to cancel, this will produce a broken backup'

(admittedly Robbie's grammar is a bit off, to say it will make a corrupt backup somewhat negates the need to say it 'may')

Thanks for answer...
You do not have to shout , I just do not understand this word combinations: "Depress the hold switch..." - what is this mean ? Or your: "press the slide to cancel" - which slide ? if both of you mean to close the hd keyboard ?
Sorry man I'm a totally newbie..

Sorry bro, I guess English isn't your first language.

The slide/switch being referred to is the lock on the side of the phone. You hold the lock slide down to cancel the backup. The message is simply warning you that if you cancel the backup, the backup will be broken.

To fix the startup errors:

as root
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install libacl1 libattr1
