This is probably too late so maybe this will help others.

When upgrading the OS why not make a backup along the way: SEE BELOW FIRST
Code:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfs-3.3-dx.img conv=sync
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfs-3.4-dx.img conv=sync
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfs-3.4.2-dx.img conv=sync
Somebody else also suggested turning these services off before beginning:
Code:
/etc/init.d/powerd stop
/etc/init.d/netwatchd stop
When finished these services should be started again or just reboot.

EDIT: This should be a better way than the above:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfs-3.3-dx.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfs-3.4-dx.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfs-3.4.2-dx.img bs=4096
