...Much better to tar it yourself and copy this folder over to the pc as a copy of the backup.

Sorry, I should have been more clear I guess. By backing up I didn't mean that you should use the backup feature. I had problems with the backup tool too. I meant that it's good for backing up by using the files tool and downloading the files from there. It works okay backing up that way.

Using the files tool pc suite is also good for adding ebooks to the jailbroken ebook reader. And I would guess that it would be good for adding NES apps, although I don't know if you need to change the permissions to make that work. And as alnath indicated, you can't set permissions with pc suite.

FYI:
Sometimes it loses its link or something with the iPhone and stops displaying the file system contents. Just restart PC Suite when that happens.
