I had a hard time finding an easy way to backup my phone in case I do something stupid down the line and want to restore back to here (with my device fully unlocked)
But... I accidentally found this method! Hopefully it helps some of you out as well. I can easily make backups anytime I feel like now...
1) Download this file: WP7_Update_Cab_Sender.zip
2) Unzip and run it. Select 'B' for send Cabs to device and BACKUP
3) Watch it do its thing. It will backup and then error-out after it figures out you don't need the firmware update (if you do then no big deal, it'll update form Samsung's servers and you'll be good to go).
You should see the new update date in your Zune client, and you can copy the backup from this location to a safe place:
C:\Users\[Windows Login Name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\
