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
