iOS IMAGE ISPW

[osito2789]

Hello i was wondering if anyone know if its possible to make a disc image or ISO of my iOS 4.2.1 JB iPhone 3GS 16 GB or even just save some type of file so that all my iPhone data is in it, and if I need to, restore it from there. Like maybe a custom IPSW so that when I restore from it no JB, apps resyncing, and re-download tweaks is needed?
Kind of like how Windows can have a complete PC backup and restore it back.

I know you can just do stuff lyke download all the DB files and put them in the autoinstall folder and etc,
I know about sn0wbreeze but it wont do what i want, put all my data(app and tweaks) into the IPSW.

It's just that it's a pain to have to re-JB and re-download stuff after an iTunes restore.

FYI: Creating a disk image is not so difficult. But I have yet to see or hear a.n.y.o.n.e that can use it to do a complete recover/restore. Replacing files/folders is no problem, but the entire iPhone disk? -- not with the tools we have available.

I suspect a DFU ramdisk with a disk restore utility built in would work, but not on an active running iOS system.

Ohh and what are the tools that are available?
Not on an active running iOS system?

I mean i don't need the entire hard disk, but at least all the Tweaks i download from Cydia.
And if possible a couple applications.
Forget about music video and media files.

Just all the Tweaks, because i use a lot.
And a couple applications if possible.

You can use ssh, WinSCP, diskaid, rsync, etc, or a combination of the above to copy files/folders you want to keep. Most of these utilities work better on a Mac, but Windows equivalents are available. Your backup/save strategy is unique. My most important folder to backup is /private/var/mobile/Library. It contains AddressBook, SMS, Mail, Recent Calls, Notes, Preferences, and a whole lot more.

the devs of TinyUmbrella are working as we speak on making TU able to do full restores and hactivation without any help from itunes (obviously itunes still needs to be on your pc for the needed usb.dll's.. but it sounds so freaking AWESOME!
p.s im not sure whether it deals with backups or not

if you want to backup your cydia tweaks check out aptbackup from cydia
