DOwnload "0xffff" v0.3.9 from
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=654646&postcount=3
0xFFFF.static.gz
(in order to execute the file 0xFFFF.static, you must copy it to a folder in the main partition (Not FAT/FAT32))
cp 0xFFFF.static.gz /usr/local/sbin
cd /usr/local/sbin
gunzip 0xFFFF.static.gz
chmod +x 0xFFFF.static
mkdir /media/mmc2/mybackup0xfff
sudo ./0xFFFF.static -e /media/mmc2/mybackup0xfff/
Now you have some new files in /media/mmc2/mybackup0xfff
config.bin
initfs.jffs2
rootfs.jffs2
secondary.bin
xloader.bin
zImage

tar -cf /media/mmc2/myN810backup.tar .

And I copied the file to my PC
