Can I use MyBackup to backup my nexus s 4g before rooting?

[WizLateefUh]

I just want to know if MyBackup application would be a good way (or best way) to backup my nexus s 4g before I unlock the bootloader.

Never used it... recovery is the best way.

Sorry this reply is so late- but I used to use this app... it's been quite some time since I've tried it- but my understanding is Google still does not allow app DATA to be backed up unless you're Rooted. Which kinda makes these apps a bit pointless - because if you root- you loose your apps, and then if you have problems after a flash- the 1st thing someone will ask you is - did you restore apps from Titanium or My Backup - and if you answer is yes- the solve is go to your stock nandroid and downlaod the apps from the market "it's more reliable".

I hate that answer- but I've grown to live with it. Somone correct me if I'm wrong about this- has this changed lately?

Fire off a strongly worded mail to Google about this- I know I'm about to.
