I want to be able to just in case have another good backup outside of i-tunes and onto a PC or Mac then save this onto a flashdrive. I also would like to backup on the device itself and I think I read something about an app called pkgBackup? I have SSH and i-file on my iphone 4s and i-funbox on my Mac OSX.
Do I just basically copy the entire tree over and that should do it as far as a backup and if I want a restore from that application? Is there another way to actually back it up and restore it other than i-funbox or itunes?
I am assuming i-funbox will allow me to basically backup the entire tree structure and restore it to my iphone but unsure if this is considered a true backup like the way it is done in itunes?
Thanks

i-funbox works for small chunks of files but if you want for example to export the entire private folder from the iphone then funbox crashes. It gets stuck on some of those executables or maybe something to do with the unix file structure ownership.
iexplorer works flawlessly exported entire folders from the tree structure without any issue about file ownership issues
