No point to answer more to this topic. I had a pm and this case is not what it seems. I adviced to pm you joerg, wizzup or peterleichen with his case. I hope he will. Interesting.

Ok, to avoid off-topic discussion about other tools etc, I transferred my last message to this thread https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=101246

Still, if by chance, there is a way to clone memory with Backup Menu, we can remain here on topic. :)

BM creates tar-archives, one for root-fs and one for opt-fs, and with both together, you get a complete "plaintext" copy of all files on system
You can extract those archives with arbitrary standard tools of which there's a zillion, linux' tar commandline-tool being only one of them.
Find a - probably obsolete since old version - example here:

Also about "unbrickable" read http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_f.../Cold_Flashing - you literally CAN NOT brick the N900
