The only way I can see to try to figure this out is to flash to PR1.3, install backupmeu, test. Then, restore apps a few at a time to see where it breaks.

Unfortunately, I'll have to leave that to somebody else.

I have too many changes and customizations to completely reflash my daily device. I will work it backwards, and start purging my most recently installed packages and see what happens.

It does not back up MyDocs due to the IMMENSE size. This will backup and restore rootfs and optfs.

Where did you plan on backing up, a possible 32GB of files to?

Yes and no. If you are looking for the .deb, you -may- find it in the cache under "./opt/var/cache/apt/archives/" inside a OptFS image.
You can list all such files with:
"tar tvf ./*date*-optfs.tar ./opt/var/cache/apt/archives/"
And then extract by changing the 't' to a 'x' in 'tvf'

This is so damn simple, why people can't this figure out by themselfs?:

Connect your N900 via mass storage mode, and copy all of the contents into a specified folder of your computer.

Voila, there is your MyDocs folder backup!


While in the other hand, you can NOT do this to rootfs and optfs, that's why this application was created.
