If it don't, it's easy to backup the mtd partitions from a running
system with dd :

lothar:~# dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/test-mtd0.dd
512+0 enregistrements lus
512+0 enregistrements écrits
262144 octets (262 kB) copiés, 0,295637 s, 887 kB/s

lothar:~# l /tmp/
total 260
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 nov 12 12:27 test-mtd0.dd

lothar:~# file /tmp/test-mtd0.dd
/tmp/test-mtd0.dd: data

I can upload the files somewhere for you.
