Backup /data

Hello.

Analyzing the system in the .73 firmware I have seen that you i can´t make backups of our apps and their data due we haven´t permissions on the /data filesystem. In the /system  you allows read but in the /data we should have read/write/execute but we can not access it,  with the consequent problem of can´t make backups of our data  ( /data/app ; /data/data )

Any solution?.

That's not quite Sony's fault, if your phone it's locked to a network, it's the network's fault since it's up to them to allow or deny the bootloader to be unlocked

Although the terminal FREE buy, the bootloader is closed. It is a ruling that a user has to unlock the bootloader (if possible), install root, locking the bootloader, to can backup your data, not ?.

I know, I follow the project developer does. But I try to explained that is a big mistake block access to the filesystem / data from Sony and I hope that ICS is solved because ... bad.
