You can use CWM to make a NAND backup
Just Convert /data to rfs before making a backup.

Use Kitchen3.0 and make a backup of your factory.rfs and replace it into a stock package with Total Commander. You can do the same with data.rfs but I think that there might cause problems.
thanks everybody

Making a complete backup of firmware.

How do i make a complete backup of firmware , efs folder etc .....
Phone is rooted but i want to back everything up before messing with custom roms.
tia
If by firmware you mean your ROM, then you'll have to download it again if you want to re-flash it in the future.
To backup the efs folder, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

Before you ask for any help you must describe your model and current rom that you are using.
With no enough information nobody will able to help you.
