N7 glass cracked; Asus says I need to backup before repair, but how?

[elach4018]

The glass on my Nexus 7 (16g) is cracked and the device is malfunctioning. Asus says I need to back up the device before sending it to them for repair.

But what is the best way to do that?

I connected the N7 to my desktop and copied everything in internal storage to a folder. When I get the device back, how do I use that to restore my device?

Basically, what I am asking is what is the best strategy for backing a crippled device that will allow me to get it back to something close to the condition it was in before the damage.

Any advice/help will be greatly appreciated, since I am kinda desperate.

I've used MyBackup trial version for a quick one time backup when I had to RMA my Transformer. Worked pretty well and let's you choose everything from System settings and apps to files.
