Bro, seriously, what are you talking about? This isnt WinXP where it creates system backups. There are several 3rd party apps that will do that but even then you must specify where your backup goes to.

Oh, no. Because any change from WM5 to WM6 or anything of the like has to be done on the PC with the phone connected and in BL mode.

Again, no. ROMs cannot be installed from a media card. The phone must be connected to the PC and loaded into BL mode. Once you are in BL mode there is not way to access any storage card and therefore the reason the ROM must be installed from the PC
