Root google proprietary system files

what exactly is it and what does it do? I mean its in the together with the nandroid options? when u back it up where does it go and what does it store? thanks in advance...

Google proprietary software are the programs that are not open sourced. Stuff like Market, Talk, and gmail. Those applications are "inhouse" Google does not allow them to be "freely" distributed unlike the android app which is "Freely" Distributed.

Free as in Freedom not Free Beer.

as far as where it goes i'm assuming that they are stored in the nandroid folder that you just backed everything else up in. this is usually found on the SD Card under nandroid.
