    Is there an application that allows you to easily back up your memory card to mass:? I can do it with ulaunchelf, but it's a lot of work and I don't know if it works (if the backup is usable). You'd think someone made a tool (ELF executable preferred) for this.

    What do you think by "lot of work"? Just launch it, copy, mcpaste/psupaste and you have the most complete copy of your saves you can have (using psu at least, you'll get even data that you don't really need to make the save backup proper...)

    And it DOES WORK.

    What would you do with another tool coded only for backups? You would need file browser anyway (ulelf has it), you would need some usb and mc functionality (ulelf has both) and finally you would need some kind of storage method that coud store all crucial save info (copying the files as-they-are to usb may make some of them unusable - timestamps, attributes). uLaunchElf gives you two methods of storing every importand save data (I prefer psu files, since they resolve restricted system characters problems).

    You can always try something like CodeBreaker which supports .cds format.

    What we need I assume is something similar to dd something that blindly copies the entire MC to a file on HDD.
