(Is that the only option to backup/restore annotations and highlighting in case I reset to factory settings the ereader?)
The annotations in the device are in the database. Backing up and restoring the database will restore the annotations to the point the backup was done.

No one has developed an alternative backup as I don't think many people see it as a need. Personally, I use annotations for marking things to fix in a book, or lookup when I'm at a computer. Once that is done, I delete them. Creating something to backup the annotations in a way that is re-storable, would be possible. It just needs someone interested in doing it to write the code.
