Hi! After destroying my system and losing some important files and also erasing the internal memory (i don't know how this happened), i decided to take more seriously the reliability of my tablet. So i decided the following:
1)a Maemo for hacking etc (
destroying
) on the systems memory (the default)
2)a cloned Maemo for serious use on my memory card
3)probably in the future Mer on my card
-Is that OK?
-Will i have problems with the cloned maemo (which i want stable and reliable for serious use)
-Will my memory card be destroyed sooner because of the big use?
-Does penguinbait' s tool work on the latest maemo (43-7)?
-Is there any newer version than the one on the first post?
-Is there something else i have to notice?
Thanks!!

How do I get Maemo to destroy my memory card? I've been trying for several years now without success...
All joking aside, the traditional preventive for losing important files is backing up. This is often mentioned even with flawless operating systems such as Windows...

. As about the backup, i have a question.Consider that i have taken a full backup of my maemo on the system's memory, the jffs2, with pb tool. If i cannot boot this because of a mistake (like my problem), how can i restore the system using the tgz of pb? I need to have usb-networking? Is there any other way to access the system's memory?

I ask again, can i access system memory from another os, ie mer, or a cloned maemo?

I don't think PB's Tools do what you're asking.
