DAR is great, but very difficult to me.
How can full backup all the data on my OS partition (ext2 in my internal SD) to my external SD?

Useful! Thanks a lot!
"Entire internal SD" means no matter how many partitions on it?. Mine have two : ext2 with cloned OS and FAT32 for data.
BTW can you post the restore command?

If you cross compile 0xFFFF for arm, it can backup the rootfs into a file called rootfs.jffs2 which the flasher can then flash back.
I have managed to compile a backup tool for OS2008. It is called DAR, short for Disk ARchive, this url can give you more info http://freshmeat.net/projects/dar/ (the main site isn't working or is it?).
This tool supports full/incremental backup, compression, piping etc etc, so this should be anything an IT hacker needs for his backup things
HOWTO for DAR
A mini howto here for N8x0:
Backup with bz2 compression, 1 GB slice and backs up your mmc2 to your mmc1 (ie. external mmc2):
Restoring a backup:
The files:
libdar64-4_2.3.5-1_armel.deb
dar_2.3.5-1_armel.deb
Install them in this order, ie. libdar first then dar itself.
