Which backup is that? Full backup that backs up whole system? Or is it only backup that backs up settings and customized stuff?

Use Titanium Backup, it'll fit your needs.

It needs rooted device. – Boris_yo Jun 24 '11 at 10:45
there isn't any app which will do all that you have asked for w/o root privileges – Sathya Jun 24 '11 at 10:49

If you're rooted and have a ROM that supports Recovery like ClockworkMod, a full Nandroid backup is akin to taking an image/snapshot of your device. When recovering from that image, your phone will be restored to exactly that same state when the backup was taken.

A bit offtopic, but out of curiousity: do you know if a Nandroid backup can be recovered onto a replacement device or does this mess up the individual device info (IMEI or such)? – onik♦ Jun 8 '11 at 11:05
It does mess things up. A Nandroid backup is recommended for one particular device alone. Not even another device that's the same model etc., AFAIK. However, I'm not 100% sure. – Sparx Jun 8 '11 at 11:13
Thought so as well, thanks for confirming. – onik♦ Jun 8 '11 at 11:20
