But use with caution.
Or
Use root explorer and copy paste the efs folder to sdcard thats safe

Before u use copy and paste using xplorer u should have root access as super user+mount writable....then try to copy paste...
To do that open option and select configuration and do same as in pic...

I have did as per ur instruction but permission of efs folder now changed. Now I can read and write this folder without that mount option. Please tell me what will be the exact permission for that folder?

I did backup of efs folder by copy paste option using root explorer and after that the file permisiion setting changed to read and writtable. I m new so I am afraid if anything goes wrong by that permission change. I just wanna know if we can revert those permission setting for efs folder and is this method of backup will work to restore in case of imei lost case?

Yes you can. You can nandroid any setup you may have.

I meant that I want to Make many nandroid copies without replacing any old backup. Is that possible? Or just one copy is allowed?

It doesn't replace the nandroid, it creates a new one. If you want to delete them for space later you can, but the recovery will not automatically overwrite it.
Like they already said, you can do as any as you want. I currently have 4. One rooted stock rom, one Cyanogenmod 7.2 one Cyanogenmod 9 and an early Cm9 beta 4

Don't forget to rename the backup with rom, kernel and date etc so easier to manage if you need to recover

You actually need to be careful with this. On my device, if you don't rename them using a certain format (no spaces, etc) then they won't restore.
Assuming that you're using CWM (I don't), it should be somewhere in the ClockworkMod folder.

Don't forget to check if you have space enough for your backups. And remember what hboot you were using on all the different backups. I had a few problems with so many backups. Hehe

I think the error refers to rfs format in the system partition.
Could that be the ics ROM is in ext4 format?
cuz I checked its Backup folder and there was a file something like ext4-data. Otherwise, in the GB backup there is rfs-data.

if you want to back up system apps then i would prefer that you use titanium back up
if using root explorer, just long tap the file, copy and paste to your sd card
restore by simply pasting it back and setting the correct permissions

thank u for the reply my friend..
what rooted mean? and undelete where?
Don't root only to get your whatsapp database back which also depends sometimes u don't get deleted files back
Root in simpler terms is similar to administrative rights of windows
But this is not the right explanation of it
Rooting will also void your warranty
