I search the forum "Bootmii safe" but it appears no one has asked this.. How safe is it? It sounds amazing! But I would be concerned about future updates. So my question are there any known problems right now and are there any concerns about updates?

Ive made up my mind Im gonna install it. but I have a ? related to this..

"BootMii is a piece of software that can be installed as an IOS or inserted into the boot process. As an IOS, it provides a fast way to back up your Wii's internal NAND flash memory, and will eventually form the basis of a new generation of homebrew applications for the Wii. Inserted into the boot process, BootMii provides you with a "safety net" -- you can back up your entire Wii to SD in under three minutes! If you were to brick your Wii, BootMii would still run and let you restore your backup from SD, quickly and painlessly. BootMii also allows you to directly boot the Homebrew channel or other homebrew from SD, bypassing the "warning screen" and the rest of the menu."

I love new homebrew but I also want to backup my wii is it possible to install it in both places? Not sure if this is a dumb question but I have to ask.

The new homebrew hasn't been created yet.

Installing it as boot2 or and IOS will cover both the new homebrew and backing up your system.

However installing it as boot2 is more advantageous.

Since boot2 runs before the system menu, even if you delete system menu files (IOS60) you would still be able to get to bootmii and use it's restore function to restore your previously backed up nand.

Installed as an IOS it would not launch before the system menu.
This method is more for the new homebrew that you were talking about.

New homewbrew is more the purpose of installing it as an IOS.

The hackmii installer says what bootmii can be installed as.

And you can take a look at this: http://hackmii.com/2009/02/bootmii-and-the-new-boot1/
