What about using one of the several other threads that are existing?
Or what about using your own thread where you've asked this question already?

Allow me,
OP, it sounds like you could do with some kind of interface, like a menu, that could do backups. Like a backup menu or such. Freely available from the repo's with a similar name to backup menu

This is what I advised last time, though I have never tested it myself, so any comment will be apreciated.

What about using SSH over WiFi if your battery isn't dead yet
you can copy all of it except it takes sometime
Also you can charge you battery via another phone(nokia 5800) which has the same battery

Install SSH client and server from the repos, then install WinSCP on your computer (if you're using Windows). When you have your N900 and PC connected to your home network, you can wirelessly transfer files between the two.
Good luck and feel free to ask if you need more info on how to do this.

Quick! Before the battery goes dead:
Use the built-in "Backup" program to save a backup on a MicroSD card.
This is what I did when I was in your situation and almost everything was restored (Contacts, calendar entries and well-behaved applications) except some of my hacks and customizations.

Is there any way I can save this without usb..
