Root Rom Dump

I have searched around about this topic, but couldn't find any instructions that were very clear. I just got my hands on a M835 direct from Metro and I want to dump the rom so that I will have a factory fresh recovery for when I want to "start from scratch". Can anyone advise me on this? Any help would be appreciated and any results will be shared with the community. Thanx in advance.
 
Why dump? Flash the huawei ascend clockworkmod recovery (manually, same as on the ascend, check my ascend ultimate customization guide for directions) and backup your phone.
 
Thanks for the reply. I have a recovery installed. But when I do a backup, there are files missing. Could that be beacause I used UltraJack instead of CWM?
 
Maybe, I have cwm and it works, I don't get the "error: can't mount "datadata" can't find "datadata"" or whatever and my backup restores perfectly including ext partitions.


QUICK TIP!
When flashing from an a2sd enabled rom to an a2sd enabled rom (e.g. mate35 to cm7 or vice verce) you can restore apps from your SD cards ext partition by opening terminal emulator and typing in "su" and allowing super user permission then typing "a2sd remove" phone will go nuts (matrix style in this piece!) And reboot (sometimes it doesn't reboot... give it 5min and reboot manually.).
All apps that were on the Sd .Ext will be on your phone. It transfers to ANY darktremmor a2sd enabled rom, most cyanogen mods for the ascend, optimus (M,C and possibly others but I haven't tested yet) and m835. I have cross transferred from and to these specific phones and the only issue I have had is with a solitaire app that got stuck displaying at m835 size on the ascend.
 
I think I have the same problem. I've installed ROM Manager and from there CWM recovery. There was no errors and it appears like recovery is installed Ok but when I back up current ROM the phone reboots real fast and then it turns out that there is no back up file anywhere on SD card. Also I've tride to boot into recovery manualy but the phone boots into stock ROM. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks! :) It works! Still getting "datadata" error at the end but I guess it's not a big problem. The problem I have now I can't see my SD-ext in Root Explorer. I used my laptop to partition SD, then tried ROM Manager - no success in any case.
