Is there a easy way to make a FULL backup of the "myDocs" folder too? I noticed that "BackupMenu" didn't include it, I guess I can simply use "CP" with a specific syntax to copy MyDocs to a SD card with the related Linux permissions?
MyDocs is usually FAT32 (as is the SD card), so there's no Linux permissions to worry about. If you've used ext3 instead, then you can either reformat the SD card as ext3 as well, or use tar to back it up to the SD card (though you may well run into the 4G filesize limit on FAT32).
