I know that an update is not the same with a factory reset, but it it something ...
This also takes for granted that the menu and your backup folder will survive the installations.

I was also thinking of this scenario. If you look at the "scripts > restore" menu, you will find some "restore ..." scripts. One of those scripts is "restore KoboRoot.tgz.sh," it assumes that there is a KoboRoot.tgz in .kobo\kbmenu\copyrepos and copies it to .kobo. "restore" is of course a misnomer in this case.
The second solution is this. Go to "scripts > external sd." There, you find "list sh on sd.msh." This lets you browse the external sd for script files, and lets you execute them. You can for instance put KoboRoot.tgz somewhere on your external sd, and a script file that copies KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo.
