It's in the wiki somewhere (I found it long ago when I first started doing this and just wrote it down locally after that), but here's the general gyst:
How to make/restore OpenWRT image files:
1) Shut down all running apps on router!
2) ---------------------------------
BACKUP
To backup the system files:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock/4 /
dd if=/dev/mtdblock/1 > /tmp/wrt-linux.trx
If for whatever reason you want to backup the NVRAM
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock/4 /
dd if=/dev/mtdblock/3 > /tmp/wrt-nvram.bin
Haven't confirmed that this actually works on Kamikaze, but the flash layout should be the same so it should do. Just make sure once you're done you ftp or download your trx file from the tmp directory as it will be gone on next reboot.
