Help How to backup my phone?

I have been using this phone for about a month now and it is awesome. I now want to root it but want to create a backup of my present setting before I root so that I can always revert back if I face problems in the future. Please post the procedure or the link of the procedure.
Thanks a lot..

Depends on what you what to backup !!
Settings - well android doest need much of settings
Apps - need root to back up
SMS - I use go sms for backup and for pretty much anything to do with SMS
Contacts: havent you been saving all your contacts to Googles Servers (email Account) if not use any app which will store your contacts to sd.

Having said that, rooting will not remove your settings,apps, contacts or sms! So you are safe try it its awesome :)
 
To make a nandroid backup, you will have to install clockwork mod into your phone.. do it using rom manager app from market..
Now turn off your phone and while starting, press and hold vol down+power..
Your phone will boot in clock work recovery...
Now navigate using your vol buttons and navigate to backup and press ur power button to select it..

All your phone data will be backed up into your sd card and you can restore everything, using the same procedure
 
Well apps can be backed up even without rooting the phone. Use ASTRO File Manager, press menu key n the Tools,hit on Application Manager...Using this u can back up ur apps to sd card.
For contacts,no need of any app or even google server..Open contacts,hit menu key n then Import/Export...Export to sd card option will back up all ur contact in just one file 001.vcf which can be easily restored by same steps.
For sms as said earlier,u need 3rd party app...
