Backing Up Droid x to Computer

[cjmsmithu]

I am looking for a way to back up my Droid x to my computer. I understand I can back up to the sd card, but what if I lose my phone? I have tasks and lists that I cannot lose. Media Manager seems to only be for media files and not the whole phone data. If Titanium is the answer, what does "being rooted" mean? Thanks for you help!
