I'm with you on that. Just wanted to let folks know what works for me.:D
Have you tried both images?
 
I did notice the updated one took abit longer when making a backup. probably cause its putting it in external sd. not really a problem with it, just a observation. works great on my end though
 
Cool. I noticed the length of time thing too. Not sure what's up with it tho. Glad it's working for ya.

I have put together a touch recovery that I am now testing functionality on.So far it will backup and restore and touch seems to be working. Flash with dd on emulator or adb.
I used the recovery from the warp2 and tweaked it til it worked.
update:3/27/13
both images work
the attached download does not have access to usb mass storage
but has both sdcards recognized

the dropbox link is the opposite of above

terminal emulator instructions:
unzip and put on sdcard, name it whatever you like but remember the name
open terminal emulator and enter su, if prompted allow root permssion
enter:
dd if=/sdcard/"whatever-you-named-the-image-without-the-quotes".img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

enjoy

update:
this is link to updated recovery
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50339543/touch-recovery2.zip

mount usb mass storage is working on my end on 3 diff os, but
it no longer recognizes the internal sdcard (i.e. sdcard2)
backups and restore go straight to the external sdcard (i.e. sdcard)
I'm leaving the other link up in case you prefer that one and don't care about usb mass storage in recovery

btw - I'm not a developer nor do I claim to be
I don't care if you link to this post or if you make improvements/changes to recovery
nor do I care about receiving credit. although thanks are appreciated/ not necessary

I just like to share what I've learned with like minded individuals
stay groovy yall and share the knowledge:D

After you press enter on what step?
 
After u enter the code in terminal emulator I press enter and it said that it was not permitted. Where should I have saved the the file too

Did u type su and hit enter for root before you did that?
If you didn't it won't work.
On your sdcard in fine
 
Ya I'd did type su before any thing and is the file just supposed to be saved in the root of the SD card or in the downloads

It doesn't matter as long as you type the path out so it knows where to get the .img from
Example:
File name - 1. img in Downloads folder

Path - /sdcard/Downloads/1.img

Also check for typos

Yea, what i did was went into root explorer right after i downloaded the zip, then i extracted it then went immediately to terminal emulator to flash the recovery

Check the file name and path that you typed and compare to where the file is
It has to match exactly
If its on your internal storage the path would be /Device/ "your-file-name-without-quotes"
Instead of /sdcard/blah-blah-you-know
