What is the difference between the backup and restore cheat codes?  I see now that if I use both functions, they should be on different drives or at least different partitions.

I think Robert was saying  that the backup should be someplace different than what it's backing up, which kind of makes sense  :)

(backup to /restore from : same location)

If you're already using a persistent home, there is little reason to also include files from /home/dsl in the backup unless you are concerned about a failure of your home device.  If you just use backup to save changes to /opt, then I think having the backup file on the same partition as home is perfectly ok.

Is there a way to make /ramdisk/home/<username> and /mnt/hda3/home/<username> also behave as mirrors of each other?
Easiest thing I can think of is to create a /mnt/hda3/home/<username> directory and add a command in /opt/bootlocal.sh to link /ramdisk/home/<username> to that directory.
