It seems to me that the only way to backup the system files is to install usbNetwork, which, kinda stinks because it sounded like you wanted to make backup *before* you starting tweaking things.

Steps:
1) Jailbreak
2) usbNetwork
3) Menu-Search ( ";debugOn", "~usbNetwork")
4) telnet <to your kindle's IP>
Viola! Shell access!

From there you might want to "dd" the filesystem to local or "cp -R" starting at the root.
