But I still have three questions:
1. Why is it important to install the same kernel? I though (naively, as it turns out) that restoring from the backup would overwrite the entire contents of rootfs, including the kernel.
2. Why do I need to copy the folders? Yet again, I would imagine that the restore would take care of that.
3. Why does the restore not wipe the partition first?

1. kernel and the rootfs are two of the partitions in the NAND chip. rootfs != NAND. Backupmenu backs up (presumably) rootfs, but not the kernel, not NOLO, not oops partition, etc.
In order to apply settings/changes from one N900 to another N900 you could "easily" do it on the mirrored copies (i.e. with the advantage of a full Linux, full/big screen, full/big keyboard, fancy tools/scripts, etc.) and then just sync back.
I don't use backupmenu eithier.
However I know people have reported that if you are not on the same KP version, you get a boot looping device.
