How to install PS3 Backup Manager with Waninkoko CFW:
Below are some recent Tweets from Waninkoko: Custom Firmware v3.55 for PS3 released! Tools will be pushed in
github soon.
Do NOT install in Slim consoles! Looks like users are reporting bricking issues. That's weird as the CFW was tested on both models.
Well... I don't know if those problems are real or just jokes. As I said, some testers tried this and worked in both models.

IMPORTANT: Check the hash of the created PUP file before flashing.
I recommend updating first to
OFW 3.55, then to CFW 3.55. I'm sorry for all the consoles that have dies, this was unexpected
At least some people report that it works! That's good news.
Working in an alternative way, with no brick risk... No ETA.

From
festizio on FIX PERMISSIONS: It seems that a lot of folks are having issues installing and running backups on there Ps3′s due to the bug in PL3 that effects file permissions. Here is what I have been doing to get around the black screen hangs and disc read errors.
1. fire up multiman, blackb0x, whatever ftp & transfer your backup
2. run your lv2 pkg of choice
3. run the fix permissions app that is installed from running the package located above
The app will go through the HD and correct the file permission errors that come with using PL3. I have been using this method after each game backup I install, however if you install (ftp/copy) 5 at a time the app only needs to be run once and it will fix all 5 games as it does its magic to the entire drive.
Now as far as USB, hampster driven HD's etc I can not say as I do not have any of the above so I have not tested it myself.
thanks for the reply but my question was if i take a backup now, i.e. from 3.72 firmware, will it effect on the cfw 3.55 when i restore on it.......
...
Of course if you're talking about re-flashing the nand with a nand flashing tool, that's not very "joe public" friendly and would need specific skills. If however you've fixed yours using a JB device of any kind, or any other method that is easily done i think you should share the details.
Anyway, here's hoping you tell all.

These are just the beginning. Now that we have such CFW it's a matter of time until we have an actual "no worries" CFW out in our hacker ocean
I can understand people been excited, but you do all realise you don't need to bypass security anymore? Give it a couple of months and you won't need any peek and poke or system patches at all.
