Just rooted - kinda freaked out

Sorry for being a noob...

I just rooted my droid using the tutorial here:

Obtaining Root - Root Your Droid

I haven't done anything yet with it. I have some questions:

How do I back it up, right now, so I can restore it if I really mess it up?

What ROM do you recommend? I have the 2.1 music and gallery pseudo-installed in 2.0.1 right now. I would like a 2.1 that works.

Where did you get the gallary 2.1 and music 2.1 apk's at??? I would also like to know what ROM's to use and where to find them... Thanks.

Skip the "obtaining root" part (since youve already done it)

Download the rootingools.zip file and follow the directions below it. After that backing up is as easy as booting to recovery and clicking a few buttons.

Fyi- dont forget to move your backups to your computer or somewhere else for safe keeping.

Ok, I did that. Having issues though. DroidRootHelper isn't letting me mount my system. WHen I click it, it asks for SU access. I click allow, it hangs, then force closes.

any other place to get the droid root tools? ****in rapidshare is out of download slots and has been for an hour, here I sit with a rooted phone and nothing to do with it =(

Just goto the market and search for droidroothelper it does everything for you and then you can load up custom rom's.
