Question about the nandroid backup. I followed everything you said, and installed the Xionia CWMA recovery kernel.
I don't see an entry on the recovery console for 'backup and restore'
Just the following:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
What am I missing?

Reflash the Xionia recovery. Make absolutely certain that you rename install-recovery.sh as stated in the Xionia flashing instructions.
Thats the stock recovery....You need to try pushing the Xionia Recovery kernal again make sure you have a # in the abd shell and not $ or it wont work....

Here's what I did.
So how do I change from a $ to a #?
Thanks so much for your help with this mid-forty's noob.
Oh, and I assume I'm rooted. How do I check that as well? LOL

That Drewalton can help you with not sure how to get # without rerooting through cmd command on the P.C....or you can download a terminal emulator off the market and do it that way if your rooted itll already have the #.

To access a root shell, execute the "su" command (without quotes) in an ADB shell.
Also, don't actually type the "#" or "$" symbols. Those are simply there to denote that the command specified should be run in a root shell.

Cool, now I'm in pursuit of a nandroid backup. I'm going to post all the mistakes and lessons learned when it all works. Thanks again.
Ok, it says Permission denied.
Then I don't believe your rooted....

So you are rooted. Now download a terminal emulator and do what drewalton....

So Dre, I have Superuser as an app, but I can't use the su command after the abd shell.
Where do I go from here?

Being able to have done that from the laptop would have been nicer.
But it works.
