Nandroid backup

Nandroid is a way to make a complete backup of your phone from the recovery console and save it to the sd card. Always do a nandroid backup before installing a new rom, it only takes a minute. The nandroid software is already included in the latest recovery image mentioned above. To make a backup is easy, boot into recovery console which you know how to do by now and chose to make a nandroid backup.

To restore is more difficult.  The second post in this thread is quite good but instructions how to put AdbWinApi.dll and install fastboot is not so detailed. Basically you need to download and copy adbWin.dll and fastboot.exe in the windows/system32 folder. However, when you have done suceeded with that, the rest is easier.

Update: The latest recovery image, cyanogen 1.3, has automatic nandroid restore, making it very easy for complete restore directly from the phone. No need to restore from the spl any longer.
