Hawaii already answered you, ignoring him isn't going to change anything.

BM does an image for root (system) and one for opt (settings and data). However, like the programs says, it is a bad idea to restore them separately. Packages install on both and restoring one without the other is a bad idea, you'd be restoring stuff partly.

If you give him your root image, he gets your list of installed apps and part of the installed apps, but not their config files and not some of their needed parts, so they'd crash, be stuck in the menu but can't be launched, etc.

If you want, have him back up contacts, give him both files, then have him restore his contacts. Though why he doesn't just apt-get kernel-power I can't fathom.

Since you skipped hawaii's post, I'll make this more visible:

This is a bad idea.

He ain't a noob - he's been here before under the name "yasirrfc". I doubt he even realises his ban has expired on that account...

Noob not newb ;P And the fact that he managed to get an account banned says something. Oh well...

Just a thought...would it be possible to get backup menu to only fire up when a certain key is held down? Like perhaps, 'b'?

I tend to leave my phone with the keyboard out and if it reboots, it's more likely I'll want the desktop than backupmenu.

You'd want to talk to the guy who builds Bootmenu; I just use that to "chainload" my program.

Ok, next up, I've hacked in support to access the ssh from a Windows PC (needs the g_ether module rather than the g_nokia one), but I can't log in, I just get access denied.

I know root has a password set as I ssh in using it when the phone's properly booted Any ideas?

Just did my first restore today and everything worked fine. Sadly it was same state as before
In detail: several weeks ago the device started to behave strange. No Version information (just a lot of ?), backup no more to internal memory only to sd card and now it won't open my IMAP inbox anymore (all other folder work well, only inbox doesn't react). so I thought it might be a problem with filesystem and some broken anything. But at least backup and restore didn't do anything better. So now I'm gonna prepare for a full reflash. Damn, that's gonna be a lot of work to get it personalized again
