I did think about dd but dont think it can cope with a mounted filesystem. If you could run it from backupmenu with an SSH or even FTP connection to a remote PC, how awesome would that be? 
Oh well, I can dream can't I?

The Backup utility on the N900 is great, but it's flawed in my opinion. It's good for backing up contacts, settings, bookmarks, calendar entries and my application list, but it's useless in restoring my phone how it was (fully installed). When I restore, I am forced to sit through hours and hours of "acceptance screens" and "are you sure screens". I have well over 240 applications and widgets etc and to install them over is a right royal pain.
Is there anything out that can take an image of my partition, that can then be saved as a compressed file to my PC? Restoring would mean extracting the image to my N900 partition.
