Hi Hillscrimer,
Not sure if there isn't a bit of a chicken and egg thing gong on here. The easiest way to do a full system backup is to flash a new Recovery. When you boot into the Recovery you get the option to do backup which will restore everything just as it was (inc apps and settings)
If i was you I'd make sure I knew where to get hold of the manufacturer's ROM and how to instal that. I think yours is the silver backed version? Pretty sure there are several links to Ployer's ROMs for that unit. Once you have that, flash a new Recovery, backup to the sdcard and move the file to your PC. Then flash away.
